Bug Description

Currently there is a flexible and general way of getting configuration information from the user by creating a Qt dialog. However this is quite low level and for some (maybe most) plugin developers an unecessary burden. It seems that many plugins will just require configuration in the form of key-value pairs so it should be possible to create a generic dialog for this.

I imagine that this could be somewhat similar to Firefox's about:config page. In Qt in could be done with a QListView or QTableView. The plugin developer passes it a dictionary of the keys with default values and gets back a dictionary with the user's input.
