/OK. I found something but nothing serious. Following your steps exactly as
/above I could notice that, when adding the second engine, its name "yyy"
/doesn't get into the tab title below the main panel, which stays as the
/default "Qsynth2".

/However this buglet only affects tab presentation; the engine really gets
/its due name, which is "yyy". All other engine parameters stay unchanged.
/Of course, there's the obvious and immediate solution to this buglet: just
/call setup again and make some workaround changes to let the dialog be
/accepted again.

/Sure I'll fix this ASAP, but I guess that's not the real problem, is it?

Try renaming /usr/lib/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qsynthrc, then adding a few
engines as root, Is the file created the same one as goes out in the package
? I consitently get problems with it forgetting reverb on / off and chorus
on / off even as a user. If it forgets the engine name when you first add it
and then go back and change settings before quiting, which engine are you
editing ? Try editing a new engine a couple of times in a single session.
