Thanks for the support!


I just wish I had made time to support with actual code...

When you say the player crashed, can you described what the symptoms were? (i.e. player didn't restart, player hung, etc.)? I think I'm not _supposed_ to be able to crash the player, so this may be a bug to report to the Empeg guys (depending on what exactly you saw)


During the "Rebuilding databases" phase, the empeg's front panel froze, and a register dump appeared on the serial (maybe it was a kernel panic, rather than a player crash). I had to power-cycle the player to get it back; I also killed and re-started JEmplode (which was still waiting for the player to respond). Each time I tried to connect, JEmplode hung during "fetching databases" and the player crashed in the same way. But when I connected using emptool, it did a media check (fsck); all the changes I'd made had appeared. I exited emptool and from then on, JEmplode worked fine.

All the above is from memory; if I see it again, I'll record the output and report it properly.

I'm going to look into those dialogs tonight ... Curious that the Yes/No dialog is not iconified -- I'll look at the Swing source code and see what they do.


It occurred to me that perhaps the problematic dialogs are being re-used and the other ones are created anew each time? But I haven't read the source yet, so you'll know better than I do.


In reply to:

I didn't do anything specifc about insets -- I haven't seen any wackiness with them on 1.3 (on Win32 or OS X). Let me know which insets you've had problems with and I'll see if I did anything special ...


The problem I get occurs only on X11, and only with fvwm as window manager. What happens is that some windows (in JEmplode 1, it was the "tune properties" and "playlist properties" dialogs) get huge insets, so only a portion of the content is visible, and the rest appears obscured by a grey border. In JEmplode 1, it was usually the top half or so that was obscured, meaning that I had to stretch the dialog to about 2000px tall to edit the song title. It's been okay for me so far in JEmplode 2, so I thought you might have actively addressed it. I spent a day or two hunting for the cause in the ReparentNotify handler in awt_TopLevel.c but couldn't follow it well enough to find the cause or any workaround.
