Stripchart will be revived as soon as I get around doing it (ie.
tomorrow when my blood has absorbed all the beer I need to forget about
my job ;).

As for bugs, you can add:
- The first time start in "normal" mode should have a menu, and some
proper indications about what the heck is happening (a status bar as
well?)

...The whole rest of the interface would get you shot by any
self-respected UI designer (or any user). I'm really sorry if I sound
harsh, but this is my real true feeling. The code behind the program
might be very good (I've still haven't looked at it), but the UI is just
plain awful. If anybody guys from the #interface channel has the time ?
