First Screenshot

This is the very first screenshot of Gnome Subtitles. Not much to see right now, the Open and New functions are implemented and so are some other dialogs. On the other hand, the internal architecture is pretty well structured ATM.

Note that all the required functions related to synchronization, file opening, format detection and conversion, etc... are already implemented in the SubLib library which this project uses.
