Seems like I do not get any MIDI output. I set up a patch on 
my Virus to control pitch and Filter by the controllers 12 
and 13 on channel 13.

When I send these from my master keyboard, everything works 
like expected.

Some information:

Gentoo system, using KDE 3.3.1
glade-2.0.1
libglade-2.4.0
libglade-0.17-r6
libglademm-2.0.1
libglademm-2.4.1

gtk-engines-2.2.0
gtk-engines-qt-0.4.1
wxGTK-2.4.2-r2
gtk+-1.2.10-r11
gtkglarea-1.99.0
gtksourceview-1.0.0
gtkDPS-0.3.3-r1
gtk+-2.4.9-r1
libgtkhtml-2.6.0
gtkhtml-1.1.10-r1
gtkmm-2.2.12
gtkmm-1.2.9-r2
gtkmm-2.4.8

I'm not yet familiar enough with Gentoo, so I cannot tell you 
by which rules the correct library version is chosen; I guess 
there's a small wrapper script.
