Actually, I am having some trouble with the Vector Grid tool from Carson's plugins. 

First, If I use the default "Input Boundary Layer" a grid is created, but if I try to choose Min-Max X Y values I get an error:

---------------------------------------------------
An error has occured while executing Python code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/micha/.qgis/python/plugins/fTools/tools/doVectorGrid.py", line 76, in accept
    boundBox = QgsRect(float(self.xMin.text()), float(self.yMin.text()), float(self.xMax.text()), float(self.yMax.text()))
NameError: global name 'QgsRect' is not defined

Python version:
2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:44:49) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)]
---------------------------------------------------
This is happening with Qgis 1.0.0 and the 0.5.2 plugin on both Ubuntu and Windows.

Secondly, in the Parameters field when I choose the spacing between grid lines, it allows a max of 1000. In any CRS with a unit of meters that means a maximum grid spacing of 1 km. Often that's too many lines... 

Cheers,
Micha
