Yeah, that had worked for me, too. But now I wanted to do commits as
well, using ssh and the sourceforge key. That's where the real trouble
started...

I'm not doubting it can be done. But if the learning effort is
comparable to (or even greater than!) doing the command-line stuff, I'm
asking myself what's the use of this GUI. As I said, with WinCVS it was
more or less ok (although it wasn't pretty).
