As of now, it still requires some MySQL "hand editing" (because of an 
oversight that prevented users from specifying a source without a 
grabber through the GUI after the GUI was fixed to make specifying a 
source easier).  However, 0.20 will have (and SVN head now has) a "No 
grabber" option for the grabber to allow you to do this completely 
within from the GUI.

BTW, the "hand editing" isn't difficult.  Just follow Joseph's 
instructions and you'll have it working.
