That's right. In order to stop tracing I need to close the rig and
open it again with another debug level. It can't be done while
the rig is open.

Okay, next thing I can think of is that set_conf doesn't work.
I have never checked it on my rig.
I will test it next week, will set my rig to some other baud rate and
see if I can talk to it with "serial_speed=some_value" in the 
preferences dialog. That should be a good test.
