/No, no problem, you are not alone, I also want to know what's going on!

/I think I got it, sorry I was also confused about fc4 vs fc5. I'm
/getting the same behavior you see in 1.4.4-2 in fc5 (ie: no save/load,
/no "about" box, etc).

/It looks like this was a build problem in 1.4.4 only on fc5. I can see a
/couple of problems (now that I'm looking for them) in the build log for
/the package and they seem to affect things related to what we see, for
/example, gnome_about_new (which I presume would be used to show the
/"About" information). So most probably it was a problem of dependencies
/being wrong, or improper headers, or something like that, and,
/apparently that was fixed in 1.4.5rc1.

I'm not sure, I use a script to specify a rack to load on start up and this
did'nt work either. 1.4.4 should have this functionality acording to the
jack-rack site. It doesn't work and it's not listed as an option when I
jack-rack -h. It is, however, listed as an option when I do the same thing
with 1.4.5 (and it loads the rack). rc1 is clearly better and I'll use it
but with the wierd qsynth behaviour as well, there seems to be somthing
wrong somwhere.

Cheers,

Bruce.
