Not sure my last post (which discussed this briefly) made it through ...

Speaking as one who would greatly benefit (because I can ONLY use the ks
version now), this is not the best means to this end.

Moving to GTK2 would be smarter. Why? Because in the process of building
Ardour on GTK2 you pick up all kinds of additional (accessibility) data
about each and every widget that can be exposed in all kinds of
ways--including via command-line or ncurses, if one wishes.

So, this is a superior path because the various kinds of UI never get
out of sync -- as has already happened with KS -- and will inevitably
continue to happen with the forked approach.
