Does this happen in another interface? This was a problem with the original
Xaw interface, and I thought I had this fixed - maybe you are using an older
patch? Try using the latest version from CVS (see below).

There wasn't an official timidity release in a long time - since Dec 2004
IIRC, but the source repository is still being updated, and this patch is
already in the CVS.
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/timidity login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/timidity
co -P timidity
should fetch the latest source.

Deli uses an older (v1.5) xaw3d version than is typically used (v1.5E is
latest), and that version does not possess the Xaw3dP.h file. The reason
Xaw3dP.h is used (even though it's "Not for public consumption") is because
it lets timidity know at compile time whether XAW3D was compiled with
XAW_ARROW_SCROLLBARS - the scrollbar actions are different in that case and
it requires some fiddling to make sure mouse wheel scrolling works on both
cases (Xaw doesn't support this by default). I'll make a patch to fix this.

Actually, the piano keyboards were already there. It required starting
timidity with the "-iat" switch rather than "-ia", a restriction which the
patch removed.
