If I have 100 LADSPA plug-ins installed and 3 LADSPA

three different interfaces depending on in which application I use it
isn't a problem. Also it looks a lot better (imho) when everything in
an application looks exactly the same. Letting plug-ins decide too
much about how they should be rendered is a bad thing. A little more
control than today could be useful at times though.
Of those 100 plugins I image that only a about 10 or so would want / need
/ justify a custom UI.
