Steven,
Functionality wise, this is spot-on except for one little issue with
the zooming.  Thanks again!

I did notice several bugs that crept in, however:
1) Regarding the zooming: Not sure if this is intentional, but zooming
in with Ctrl-Mousewheel will scroll the view so that the start marker
is at the rightmost side of the viewport, and zooming out scrolls the
view so that the marker is on the left.  If at all possible, would you
be able to make this function zoom in to wherever the mouse pointer
happens to be?
2) When resizing tracks, the automation lines are sometimes not
re-drawn.  This is illustrated in the following screenshots:
http://www.filterchild.org/before.png and
http://www.filterchild.org/after.png.  I started with a screen
captured in before.png and resized all of the tracks one size smaller,
resulting in after.png.  After doing any zooming, however, this issue
disappears and the automation is drawn correctly.
3) Automation segments that move to one value immediately after the
previous one (see http://www.filterchild.org/stairs.png) do not move
to the new value at all, they stay "stuck" on the value before that
until any sort of slope is encountered.  This was tested automating a
knob on a synth, it may work with other parameters, though.

Thanks again for the work, Steven.
