I am fairly sure that the code to switch to context browser on track change executes even if you are in the context browser already.  Is this a bug or is there a reason the code should do this?  The screen dims out on track change when this is enabled (regardless of tab state), when it is not enabled I don't see the same application 'blink'.
Thanks, Mustapha

Not sure what you mean with "dim". I don't notice any sort of artifacts here.

I may have been describing myself with the word Dim, the behavior I was seeing was relative to running Ubuntu 7.10 on a older laptop (and have now seen it elsewhere). Thank you for your response and for posting so much good information on this  forum.  I am running my FM radio show with Amarok and have found it quite useful.  Have you come across anyone (in your forum travels) that has written a playlist decrementing running time total script or a way to make the action buttons (Play/stop on nets track) bigger?  Thanks again.
