and i'll chime in with mine, which ardour "stole" from sonar: the recent "barcontroller" widget, which is somewhat like a fader, although it displays its numerical value. if you do the correct click on it, or click in a certain area or type "e" into it, it converts to a conventional in-place GTK spin button. once editing is done with the spin button (focus changes out of it), it reverts to the bar control. --p
