I open Qjackctl, start jack, then open ZynAddSubFX on KDE. CPU useage jumps to 100%, difficult to move mouse pointer, and it's virtually impossible to do anything with Zyn... . If I click on boxes to open child windows in Zyn, they take ages to open. If I click on a box, then minimize Zyn to the panel, the CPU useage drops to normal, the child window opens ok, and I can adjust parameters, select a patch to use, etc, with no problems, and can play sounds ok. If I then restore Zyn's main window to the desktop, the CPU useage again hits the roof. The same problem is there on F7, and I asked on several lists about it, and also posted a bugreport, but as of yet unresolved. ZynAddSubFx works ok on F7 under Gnome, but not under KDE, and I havn't tried it under Gnome on F8, but expect the same result. Zyn has always worked fine pre F7, and also on my Debian, Kubuntu, and Slackware installs. I thought it might be something to do with Lash, which is now a dep, but FC5 has Lash as a dep, and Zyn works ok on that. I'd appreciate anyone using KDE on F7, or F8 trying out ZynAddSubFx, and see if they see the same problems as I do. Gratefull as always for any verification of this problem. Nigel.
