Mandelbrot progress, need Qt GUI help!

[Andrew Stromme]

I've played with your wallpaper plugin for a little more, and I have a couple 
of suggestions for the configuration. 

It would be nice to have more descriptive names than "Color 1", "Color 2" 
etc.. for the color selection. Maybe something like "Inside Color", "Outline 
Color", "Fringe Color" or "Main Color", "Secondary Color", etc... would be 
more self-explanatory?

I assume "Fineness" means "Level of Detail" or "Graphics Quality"? Would one 
of those be more descriptive to the user?

Lastly, and in the same vein, "Lock" could be something like "Allow 
Panning/Zooming with mouse" (of course then it would probably be checked by 
default) or "Lock Current View". Also, what would be cool is if 
enabling/disabling the lock didn't reset the view as well, which would mean a 
user could pan/zoom to a certain area, then lock it to have a custom 
background.

Of course these are all just suggestions, and relatively minor :).
