I've made an updated version of my timidity xaw interface patch  
available at the same place  
( http://www.fileupyours.com/files/77985/timidity-xaw-patches.tar.bz2 ).
I've also made a patched tarball of the CVS source  
( http://www.fileupyours.com/files/77985/timidity.tar.bz2 ) [0]. Note that  
if the resource files are used (this can be checked with "appres  
TiMidity"), than the new ones need to be copied over them.

New changes for timidity (in addition to the previous patches):

* xaw interface displayed lyrics in broken, duplicated sentences - fixed.
* timidity, when compiled with the default settings, will now actually use  
the saved "Extend mode" value from ~/.xtimidity.
* Deleting a song from the playlist will no longer always stop playing -  
only if the song deleted is the one being played.
* Channels can be muted and unmuted (right click on channel in trace mode).
* A click on the time bar will forward/rewind the midi to the appropriate  
time. Alternately, the thumb can be dragged on the bar, so it is possible  
to set time to an exact value without guessing. The volume can similiarily  
be changed by clicking the volume bar.
* Now "Trace mode" can be enabled even when the interface is started with  
only "-ia". [1]
* Tempo is displayed on the trace foot. It can be modified with '<' and  
'>'. [2]

[0] In addition to the above, I used a patch posted on this list by Milan  
Zamazal (slightly modified to add help text) to add an command-line option  
to preserve initial silence. It usually works well, but I think it clips  
the first note from cavatina.mid  
( http://www.onicos.com/staff/iz/timidity/dist/midi/cavatina.mid ).

[1] If timidity is started with "-ia" it will decide whether to enter  
trace mode according to the value of Disp::Trace in ~/.xtimidity. "-iat"  
will always start in trace mode, regardless of Disp::Trace value.  
(Previously Disp::Trace only influenced "-iat" and not "-ia").

[2] It was always modifiable with these keys, it just wasn't documented  
anywhere. Similiarily, pitch can be modified with '+' and '-'.
