One point I noted during the run-up to 9.1 This tool worked fine once it was a real distro. But as long as it's still a testing tool the "hooks" for the gui aren't there.. Or rather they are there but the are setup to work with the release that will come, rather than the test model that is. The command line on the other hand is mutable and can work in any situation.
