Nice work, Yaoheng, and thanks for sharing w/ the community!

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I will soon.

Some initial feedback from going though your nice tutorial:

   a) I don't think I would remove the job upon a double 
click.  From a GUI standpoint, that is not intuitive --- most people 
think double click to get more informataion.  Maybe double click 
should show all the job attributes?  For removal, I suggest a right 
click w/ menu and/or an toolbar button.  It'd be nice to be able to 
highlight multiple jobs to remove.

   b) Re the implementation on the configuration tab : are you 
re-writing the condor_config[.local] file, or using 
"condor_config_val -set" tool to make the changes so that it works 
over the net?  How are you reading the all the config values?

best regards,
Todd
