Attached is a new version that's a diff against current CVS. I think it's much more intuitive (Thanks Richard U. for suggesting it.). 

Checked in.


The patch changes the UI so:

1) the CList updates as you enter/modify options.
A better UI might be one where you can directly type into the description column in that CList, and have a checkbox in that CList for enabled/disabled, and get rid of the other widgets in that dialog box.
Unfortunately, GTK+ 1.2[.x]'s CList widget can't handle that, so, absent better widgets, we're stuck with what we have in the 1.2[.x] version.
We might be able to do better in the GTK+ 2.x version, using its replacement tree/list widget. (See, for example, the Edit > Protocols UI, which I think has a checkbox for enabled/disabled in the 2.x version.)
