[GIS] How to generate Tiles with QuantumGIS or Mapnik

mapnikqgistiles

I would like to know how to generate Map Tiles using QGis. I have heard that it is possible to create tiles using QGis, only, I don't know how to do that. Googling did not work for me since I am not really expertised with programming (Python etc.) and GIS.

However, I am experienced with accomplishing tasks that I am not experienced. So, if somebody can direct me to a tutorial/guide (detailed tutorial is preferred), I can manage to generate tiles.

I can also use Mapnik but as far as I understand, Mapnik does not have a GUI so I prefer QGis.

There is a brandnew Qtile plugin, but only available for the latest Qgis Master version 1.9.0:
