Well, it's a step in the right direction, but I think it's still too cluttered.

My biggest complaint is that there are so many GtkFrame widgets (the
boxes with the lines around them), they're all nested, it gives it a
very cluttered look and doesn't seem to contribute much. Especially
the one that has no label, it's just a box that groups a bunch of
other boxes and does nothing.

Go for it for 0.5 if you want, but post 0.5 I'd like to see bigger
changes. Here's an updated mockup that I'm working on:

A bit cleaner, one less level of nested GtkFrames. Hopefully the
logical groupings make a bit more sense, as well.

I'd like to break up the "Quick Stitcher" part as well. I think the
"as an Equirectangular" select box could be grouped into the "Field of
View" group somehow... Then again, I'm thinking the whole "Field of
View" group might not even be appropriate on the "Stitcher" tab.

Thoughts?
