I don't know whether the 0.39 changes would obsolete this, but I have a
different workaround in my Solitude environment
(http://at.or.at/hans/solitude). Basically, if I want to turn off a
track, I save all of the tracks in their own file, then clear all of
the data structures, then reload the tracks that I want to see. It
works well enough.
