Good to read. I'd prefer an easy-to-use "wizard" and a powerful
profile-editor much to a display of the executed commandline, even if we
may lose some education of new users by doing so: It wastes just too
much space on the main window. Maybe it's possible to disable that
subframe like it's possible not to display the menu items or the
button-bar in mozilla.

You accomplished a lot so far!
