George,

Yeah, I know "running the qtz in quicktime with all the mouse stuff
still enabled" is a bad idea for a performance :) For a quick "does it
work" on a borrowed laptop in the last 5 minutes of lunchbreak I
reckon it's worth a go :)

Dunno what's going on with the state restoration - I vaguely remember
connecting the 'multitouch available' output to the enable input of
the clear patch (just to check it was working) and probably forgot to
disconnect it later. It shouldn't cause state restoration issues
unless you've not got the plugin though I would think?

Chris
