[Rosegarden-user] Feature Request (sort of)

Hi all,

Re: "JACK audio subsystem losing frames" dialog.
I have a flat patch on my forehead now.

Can someone explain why I have to click a button to acknowledge a fact that is 
almost patently bleeding obvious beyond the first couple of times. Add to 
that the fact that if JACK can't keep up, then almost certainly, neither can 
the graphic system. It's by and large a very bad time to be launching a 
dialog window. Couldn't we just have an ignoreable flag or fake led or 
something that doesn't grab the mouse just at the point you're desperately 
screaming "Noooo! Stop!!!!", accompanied by frantic handwaving. I have had 
enough experiences of that dialog (I have my own private little name for it 
now ;-) respawning before I had any chance to hit the stop button and 
eventually just having to sit back and let the track play out. Tedious.

I've reverted to using the 0.9.9-1 version that's in A/DeMuDi-1.2.1 as my 
attempts at compiling 0.9.91 were only semi-successful, I had some qt related 
problems which I don't even have enough experience to be able to report 
accurately, let alone try and fix. Also I promised myself that I would 
Actually Make Some music, so I simply blew away my badly compiled version and 
re-installed Enrique's more stable build and now Rosegarden stays up, even if 
it does seem to take rather a long time to redraw the screen sometimes.

I wonder whether my experiences have something to do with the way qt is 
installed on Debian and/or the fact that I'm not using RG4 in a native KDE 
environment. I have similar problems with Konqueror for example.

I guess the answer is 'keybindings'.

cheers
