Do you need the results from Valgrind or GDB? I'm not quite used to
debugging compiled programs. Running with Valgrind doesn't allow the
plugin to show, though there is some frantic CPU activity for a while.
Valgrind log attached. The GDB shell script seems to break the panel
startup, but I attached the log and used script. I'll tweak that later
this week, but if you know why the panel now seems to break, that
would help.

Not that I've noticed, but it might be because my MPD server isn't
always online, and sometimes skips through all the tracks in a
playlist quickly (this is because the music partition isn't always
mounted).

All the best,

Kasper.
