I know the UI is really shitty right now - I'm aesthetically challenged.
There is a newer UI in the works, but it is still "not good enough".

That would require me to write a connection manager (like TOR). As of this instant I have no plans for doing that.
Yes I know it sucks not to have it all in one place, but I have a workaround: Use fcrochiks MyContacts. That widget allows dialing out using qgvdial.
