Comment(by chiiph):

 I don't know what's the ETA for this GUI. But if the idea is to have this
 inside Vidalia there are two possibilities IMO:

 1) Code this inside Vidalia (just like it is for apps launched by TBB). I
 don't like this idea since I'm working towards taking out these parts of
 Vidalia, but it may be the quickest path.

 2) Make a plugin for this. If the idea is to just fork another process
 with obfsproxy, and have a couple of buttons and simple lineedits for
 config, this won't be a problem as a plugin. The only thing is that I'm
 planning on putting the design behind the plugin framework for review this
 week, and from there to a usable stage, it might take a while (a month may
 be?).

 OTOH, if the idea is to hack a separate GUI, sure, Qt behaves pretty good
 for rapid application development.

 I'm not sure what exactly needs to be done, so I can't say how hard it
 will be to code. But you should decide what approach you are taking, and
 we can discuss this in more depth.
