Seeing as we don't have access to the code, I'll comment on the UI:
- The checkboxes don't seem to desensitise the related sliders
- The sliders don't line up, check GtkSizeGroup
- A lot of those configuration options should never ever get near a user
(Power Line Frequency!?!)
- We already have a way to change some of the output settings in the
preferences, we should have the output settings there as well
(especially for the case where there are duplicates)
