Thanks for this great synth!

I built it for my new system, and the GTK libs were discovered by configure, and the gtk WhySynth stuff was apparently built and stuffed into /usr/local/lib/dssi/whysynth, as expected:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.8.20)
GTK support: yes (version 2.0)
checking for ALSA... yes
checking for COMMON... yes
checking for PLUGIN... yes
checking for GUI... yes

But when I launch whysynth via jack_dssi_host, I get only a headless WhySynth instance, no GUI.

Mind you, I like headless stuff with no GUI, but in this case, I'd really like to have some way of adjusting parameters and patches, and the GUI that worked with the old version was plenty useful.

It appears that the GUI is running, but it too is headless:
