The problem with not doing these is that setup will seem to hang once
one selects "Finish" when defining the video source. For me currently I
just get a box with no text but a progress bar at 50%. And the gui does
not respond. I had to look at the window where I had started setup to
see the questions asked there. I consider this behavior undesirable.
I can think of a couple of different ways of solve it.
1. The approach I initially took where I hardcoded answers. May be a bit
drastic:-)
2. Add some text to the dialog with the progress bar which tells that
interaction may be required on the command line.
3. Write a wrapper around tv_grab_* which presents a GUI where one can
enter the answers.
I agree that #1 may be a bit on the draconian side. #2 is probably
easiest to implement while #3 is the nicest solution but a solution
which requires a lot of work.
