Looks a lot like Pan, even down to the icons. Only recent versions of
pan have nzb support, and those versions of pan have yet to find their
way into Ubuntu, but they are in Debian/sid, so we may see them soon

Perhaps you'd be interested in working on a client that suits your
specific needs (assuming one doesn't already exist)? Sounds like you
have the skills to do, and you might be able to solve a lot of other
users' problems!
