[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Guix!

For the past few months I've been unable to use qjackctl, it would
freeze X all together on startup. It seems to happen only in tiling
window manager though. But, it looks like people upstream have found the
problem and disabling xunique fixes it!
See https://github.com/rncbc/qjackctl/issues/13.

The bug mentions qsynth too, I'll check if it has the same problem.

Thanks!
Pierre

It LGTM, but let’s see if Ricardo approves.  :-)

Thanks,

This seems okay to me.  This is only about letting qjackctl capture
attempts to start it another time, which isn’t an essential feature.  It
starts jackd in the background and *that* can’t be started more than
once on the same audio device anyway.

By the way, I've installed qsynth and it doesn't hang the system.
