Hi,

Sorry to waste bandwidth but does that have anything at all to do with 
the menu that Jack O'Quin and I developed for Jamin?

It is really effective and I have witnessed the same system in protools 
so it is basically an industry standard.

It is also designed for gtk2 and is too easy to integrate.

Cheers.
