I think the problem is that no one expects to have to rotate the dial. Everyone 
is just pulling from right to left or top to bottom and wonders why the dial 
keeps jumping so much when going over the middle of the dial. I think a QDial is 
really a bad choice for anything, because its so unexpected and not obvious.
