In that case I did something wrong, most likely, thanks.

Great.

Not killing Jack, it's more subtle. For one thing both fluxa and
fluxus disappear as Jack clients from the patchbay together or on their own.
I can't get Fluxus to re-show once that happens without re-starting it.
Re-running my .fluxus.scm, which makes the connection, doesn't help when
that happens. Fluxa just seg-faults in its own window and needs to be quit.
When something like this happens nothing short of restarting it all helps.

To be clear; I run these by starting Jack, starting fluxus, then starting
fluxa in its own terminal window and having fluxus connect to it with
(require fluxus-016/fluxa). Then once it all runs connecting the fluxa out
to the fluxus in in the jack patchbay.

I'll disable compiz and keep a eye out for more detailed symptoms. I don't
really need compiz, just use the "desktop-cube" as i found it makes it more
intuitive to remember what desktop was where.

 Very good. I'll just keep at it and send notes here.

Thanks,
Kas.
