I don't know enough about the part of our code in question to understand 
exactly what that's telling me, but I know enough about how it all fits 
together to guess that Rosegarden is getting stuck waiting for access to the 
realtime clock for some reason or other.

I'd try running as root and see if that gets you anywhere.  If Rosegarden 
continues past this issue as root, then the underlying problem is most likely 
something you could configure away by tweaking the permissions on something, 
somewhere.  I'm not exactly sure what, where, or how, but that would be the 
general direction to aim in.

Either way, I have a feeling that the "(auto)" timer setting should be robust 
enough to detect a problem like this, and try using a different timing source 
or something, instead of just hanging indefinitely.  If we can figure out what 
file open code in Rosegarden is behind this infinite wait, we ought to be able 
to wrap some kind of timer around it so it will only spin its wheels for a 
fixed amount of time before aborting and trying something else.

I have no idea where this code is, or what steps have already been taken to 
avoid this kind of situation.  I'm interested enough to go have a look, but I 
have no idea when that might be.
