GNU Emacs has the same problem that we have here with the '.emacs' file, in 
which you can put any random elisp you want.  However, Emacs provides a 
(sort-of) GUI for editing many of its configuration variables.  Here's an 
extract from my .emacs file:


(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(confirm-kill-emacs (quote y-or-n-p))
 '(mail-user-agent (quote gnus-user-agent))
 '(user-full-name "Peter Brett"))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(diff-added-face ((t (:inherit diff-changed-face :foreground "darkgreen"))))
 '(diff-removed-face ((t (:inherit 
diff-changed-face :foreground "darkred")))))


Perhaps a similar system could be built into gschem...?
