Apologies for the delay in replying. I havn't used "patch" before, and have 
just edited the gtkknob.c file by hand, after doing a make uninstall for 
phasex.

I don't know whether I needed to do a ./configure, and make again after 
patching the file, but I did, and after a make install, Phasex is working ok. 
No crashes.

That's on Debian Etch, but as the change to that line has fixed the problem, 
it no doubt will fix it on FC5 as well.

I don't think the problem was machine related, as I had the same problem with 
Phasex crashing when built on FC5 on the other machine. It would crash on the 
machine it was built on, but again, if I ssh into that machine from Etch, it 
works fine.

The rpm for FC6 works fine, but jack-audio-connection-kit from Fedora extras 
appeared to be broken. I had to get an update from planetccrma for jack, 
before I could try Phasex on FC6.

I've also got Kubuntu (breezy), and Slackware 10.0 on the same machine as 
Etch, which I've just put back onto testing/lenny. I suspect though there may 
be the same GTK problems as on FC2 with them. As I'm watching snooker at the 
moment, I'll have to check that out later.

Nigel.
