Nice. I think this is a great idea -- it'd be lovely to have some more GUIs that worked with the plugins and hosts we already have, with minimal development work. (Though I wonder why our "native" host editor window is so wide? That doesn't help, does it?) There's been a lot of talk about GUIs on the LAD list recently, mostly to do with how LV2 supports them. Historically the situation there has been very problematic for any host that isn't written using GTK, but it looks like things are on the up, as David Robillard has been working on a library to adapt plugins written for different toolkits from the hosts. That's of no immediate use to Rosegarden since it doesn't support LV2 plugins, but it does suggest that one obstacle to supporting LV2 may be disappearing. Leaving only the biggest one: time. In the world of realistic immediate solutions to problems, FLAM user interfaces for LADSPA plugins look like a very good idea with essentially nothing to lose.
