Great! Nice to see it's alive because QMidiArp is a fantastic linux 
audio/midi software ;-)

Thanks for looking into it.

Meanwhile as a (hacky of course) workaround I have a Python script which 
can remove anything in the <windowState> tag of the qmax XML file, 
effectively 'resetting' the GUI.
Not pretty but works for me at the moment (especially with this specific 
session which has 2 arps and 2 sequences).
Sharing in case for the time being it might be useful for any other user 
(see first comment for the usual disclaimer!)
