- Fix some tooltip spelling (patch by Jaromír Mikeš, thanks).
- Translation (not) fix for the default server name "(default)".
- Old "Start minimized to system tray" option returns to setup.
- Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant given 
that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido Scholz, while for 
Qtractor [15], thanks).

trebmuh, thanks).

duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
- Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant given 
that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido Scholz, while for

QmidiCtl [5] has been primarily designed for the Maemo [18] enabled 
handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 [19] and also being promoted to 
the Maemo Package repositories [20]. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be 
found effective as a regular desktop application as well.
