Similar kind of functionality than FMTX currently have.

After going trough the source code and some Qt faq's and examples I realized it is actually bit more complicated than I tough after seeing one couple line Python implementation
You have made great job already. Too bad it wasn't enough for me (or Buffalo)
The "part of the code" you actually need to send the magic packets is very small... the "complicated" part was trying to figure out the macaddress given the ip or host name.

If you can create the desktop widget using qt and will know the macaddress everything else is quite simple and I will gladly help you figure out. In fact probably is as easy (or easier) to create it using python with the qt bindings.
