Shouldn't all this live at the toolkit level? that doesn't scale properly. LAC2005 had a paper on integrating MIDI into any X application. Slightly clunky but pretty cool. doing this via low-level X stuff scales much better than expecting toolkit Foo (for all values of Foo) to provide a MIDI interface plugin. --p
