In one sense, this is a low priority because we are moving away from
using the wx sinks in favor of the qt sinks. Still, for now, most of
our examples are base on wx, so we will need this to work for a little
bit longer.

Tom, it's not just the examples. It's a significant base of "3rd party"
applications. If you make WX go away without having some kind of
uber-smooth transition plan, then the bad taste left by the 3.6 to
3.7 transition will be remembered, and it won't be pretty.
I have some concerns of my own here. I'll admit that most of the QT GUI
sinks look "cuter", (and in some cases work better). I do use both,
depending on what I need.
The one where the WX GUI wins for my use is the (Non GL) version of the
WX Waterfall vs the QT Waterfall. It's raw simplicity to show me what I
need (often did I get the filters right...)
Even playing with the QT Waterfall's settings, autoscale, bin size etc,
it never quite seems as "easy" to spot signals in it, esp weaker ones.
It's probably just levels that I'm feeding it, but the WX Waterfall
works better in this regard for me.
If there would be a way (within GRC) to turn off all the decoration
(Time, Intensity, Frequency Axis labels etc), so we just have the raw
waterfall, I'd love that, as things like the QT Time Sink work way
better than the WX equivalent.
Also, the QT version seems limited to auto scaling or not. On the WX
version I can set my own Dynamic Range, Reference Level, and Reference
Scales should I decide to.
BTW I think I found a bug. When you first fire the QT Waterfall GUI up,
and select "Multi-Colour" colour map, it doesn't work. Select another
colour map, and then select the multi-colour map, and it's fine.
