overcomplicated attempt at persisting the pane layout in the rdf graph this was hard because we have to somehow wait for the graph to load before config'ing the panes

How to see the original lightsim:

    cd lightsim
    python lightsim.py

    Play with sliders.


How to see the new lightsim:

    Start 3 shells, and in each one set this:
      export LIGHT9_SHOW=/path/to/light9/show/dance2008

    You may need a 'chmod 755 bin/*' if this is a new darcs checkout.
    
    Shell 1:
      bin/dmxserver --dummy

    Shell 2:
      bin/keyboardcomposer --no-sliders

    Shell 3:
      bin/lightsim
      (it spews tons of Qt stderr, unfortunately)

    In the keyboardcomposer GUI, bring up any combination of these subs:
      house
      midleft
      midright
      red
      orange
      green

    As you adjust subs, lightsim should rerender its combination of
    channel photos. I didn't have any properly-photographed lights, so
    all you get are some lousy hand-painted lights on a single photo.
