I thought about that, and whenever you put up hurdles like that, the 
hurdles get tedious, and they tend to get ignored completely.  Blah, 
blah, blah, yes, yes, yes, oops.

That's why I reworked a ton of those click through warning dialogs into 
the warning widget in the bottom right corner.  Audio status, MIDI 
status, graphics, all that kind of stuff in one notification area that's 
visible and accessible, but not shoving itself in your face.

I like how that turned out.  It's probably one of the nicest 
improvements I ever made when I take time to remember what I did there. 
  Those dialogs were irritating.  "TIMING RESOLUTION TOO LOW, go 
recompile your kernel before you even evaluate whether Rosegarden is 
interesting or not!"  Blah, blah, blah.

'S what I'm thinking still.  Never got around to implementing it.

The Rosegarden rose got nipped by the cold.  Damn it.  Oh well, it's 
going to come back to life sooner or later, and I spent today using a 
tiller to work over its neighboring environment.  I'm bushed.  Finally 
catching up on like five years of neglect at my place.  I seem to be 
over my depression, and I'm still married after all, to someone who 
clicks "like" on every trivial thing I say on Facebook.  Life could be 
worse.
