I think I had the same problem some weeks ago, that's why I was soon 
distracted by other things. I really think we should build on QWT 
primary, that's why this has to work at first.

I think getting into GNU Radio is a little bit cumbersome although we 
have a lot of example code. I'm thinking about basic concepts, that were 
hard to get for me when starting with GNU Radio, but also creating a new 
GUI application is not a 5-minute-thing. I hope that good graphical 
elements, like sinks with rich interface, or a graphical filter 
designer, or a FFT-sink combined with a filter designer etc. could help 
people in getting to powerful applications in short time.

One more candidate for a "connect this to your flowgraph and it will do 
the Right Thing".

I'll see what I can do!
