Thanks, I'll give these different techniques a shot, I'm sure one of them will work. I'm still a bit baffled as to why the GUI for qjackctl was changed at all to remove the ability to force quit. It worked fined in Hardy, but with Jaunty the ability to just hit the 'X' button on the windows and close it is now gone, along with the ability to right click and hit 'force quit'. It's the same for any windows that JACK opens up, such as the message window. Before, you could close it by hitting the 'X' button, but now you must close it by hitting the 'Messages' button on the GUI itself. Did they just want to make sure people were using the GUI to do these things? -Brian </BLOCKQUOTE>     not sure about the changes, as i am still using 8.04 Hardy.  perhaps it is as you said, making sure the qjackctl program can only be closed certain ways, ensuring better cleanup of underlying jackd processes... or maybe something changed in QT/GNOME/Metacity in 9.10 Jaunty.  let us know if it works. peace. </BODY> </HTML>
