Hi,
The latest qjackctl that comes with Ubuntu Lucid has bugs related to saving the application settings. Previous versions never lost my configuration, but I've now lost my full configuration multiple times with the new version. I setup my firewire audio settings, alsa settings, pre and post scripts, etc., and then it forgets it all randomly and reverts to the defaults. Incredibly annoying. I'm not sure if this is because of something they've done with Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio, or if there have been changes in qjackctl itself.

I've got a request too, which is that qjackctl should recognize if another instance is already running, and not start two instances. I'd like to have it startup, minimized and with jack off, every time I login, but it often starts two instances, one because it is setup as a startup application, and the second because it was remembered in the session.

Oh, and why can't the connections, and messages windows get regular window close buttons? Having only minimize and maximize is super annoying when the main gui window is minimized. It would also be nice if we could turn off the auto-popup of the messages window. I do a lot of messing around with jack during development, and these constant message windows and red icons get annoying.

Thanks a lot for the app though! I use it daily, and this criticism is only from many, many hours of use, so your tool has been very handy.

Cheers,
Jeff
