I think this might be a good approach.  John and I have discussed how to present some defaults to the users. Whether it be some sort of wizard, or something more radical.

Either way, the recent refactoring should make it easy-ish to hack on all these ideas. Just copy all of gtkui directory (say to fooui) and then you can start conduit with --ui=foo

Let me know if you need any help
