Looks nice.

Some usability comments:
* the bigger the buttons are the easier they are to hit. i'm particularly
talking about the up & down buttons in the worklist but also the help
button.
* the less space between buttons belonging to the same class the better.
* there is too much space between the buttons in the bottom (i know the
old dialog also was like this but that doesn't make it right :)).


I'm giving these comments based on:

It would be nice if you people provided some up to date screenshots of the
dialog in a clean gtk+ theme (or no theme at all like the link i
mentioned). That way maintainers without spare time to look at the source
code can provide (i hope) useful comments :-)
