I've gotten used to double-clicking on an interface from the main window.
I'd also vote for a simple "settings" icon instead of text. Either way,
adding the necessary plumbing should hopefully just be a matter of creating
a slot for interfaceTree::itemClicked.

The icon was also one of my ideas. If I find one which would work, I'll add it. Also, I agree with the double-click, got used to it as well.

Should we provide a hint for unconfigured extcap interfaces, e.g. by
drawing their names in italics?

Good idea, I'll implement that.
