I already suggested that "Move interval" or "Limit engine analysis to n seconds" to be removed and replaced by "Auto Analysis" dialog and the other function of "Move interval" is when playing against engines...
My suggestion for playing against engines is to use the code from cutechess:
http://cutechess.com/
https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess
Cutechess is written in QT so... a perfect match.
If polyglot is internalized then parts of cutechess can also be internalized.
I use the git version in Arch Linux and the GUI works great for playing against engines at various time controls, but the main functionality of cutechess it to play engines tournaments and I think ChessX could benefit hugely from this one.
A special version of cutechess-cli was used for the famous TCEC championship http://tcec.chessdom.com/live.php in which Stockfish dominated the competition and won.
