I'll look into it. This would be a great opportunity to rewrite the encryption
stuff to try to avoid the random QCA crash of doom. 

Adding a GUI for it would be interesting..It'd probably be something simple
like making the lock icon (that currently shows up in encrypted conversations)
into a button that spawns a context menu with some options. 

Or even have an image of an unlocked padlock, and clicking on it initates the
configured form of key exchanges (DH1080 going to blowfish ECB/CBC or whatever
the OTR does) and then it'd turn into a locked image and there'd be a context
menu with the options "Enter new key" and "Set key" in the case of blowfish
(i've never seen these in an OTR implementation let me know if those would be
expected) and a "End Encrypted Conversation" or something along those lines. 

Let me know what you think of that, and I'll get started on it.
