create slimmed down setting window

[quinox]

we need to change the settings windows
it's overwhelming
how about
renaming the current settings window to "Advanced settings"
and creating a slimmed down version with only the bare necessities?
and calling that one "settings"
username, password, shares, download dir, I18N, userinfo, "import windows config"
that's it

Someone on the chat said he didn't like how VLC has two diff. settings levels. While it's merely cosmetic, I guess we can name the slimmed down version the "Setup Wizard" or something

We can try to make a real wizard with  http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkassistant.html

and maybe add an about:config thing to N+ so we can remove useful but really insignificant settings from the real settings window

Or like how VLC handles advanced settings...

you mean the simple/all toggle option? That doesn't help me much, I would still have to spend time creating a new setting tab and all that - the beauty of about:config is that it's all done automatically :)

Ah, there are two issues in this ticket now:

1. Create a simple setting thing for new users, so they don't get scared away and configure the bare necessities; This is the basic-setup-wizard
2. Give the programmers the option to make more stuff configurable with ease; this is the about:config thing

FastConfigure? is fully implemented now, the about:config should get its own ticket.
