I can confirm that changing line 794 as above does work on my Archlinux 
install.

I have since created a couple of patches, nothing special, and can't get any 
realistic piano sounds, but I don't think that this synth is going in that 
direction. All the same there are some realy nice default sounds.

I have a question though. There is a  nice desktop icon in the tarball, and 
would like to start minicomputer, and miniEditor from the desktop. I have no 
problem with miniEditor because I can close it on the GUI, but the only way I 
can close minicomputer is with a CTRL +C on the konsole where I started it.

Perhaps I'm asking a bit much here, but is there a way to launch minicomputer, 
and miniEditor from the desktop, then be able to shutdown both miniEditor, 
and minicomputer when clicking on the close (X) on miniEditor.

Just a questiion, and comments welcome.

Nigel.
