There's a lot of useless padding in your design, and the bottleneck seems to be the self-intersect button.
Tell me, how often do you open "Stroke Style" tab? :)
Not sure about others, but I certainly open it all the time. I could imagine a layout where it would be separate from fill and stroke, but I think that might be a bit beyond what's currently on the table.
I was merely referring to the fact that it's the "Stroke Style" tab that makes the dialog so wide due to combination of labels and long-ish comboboxes in a single row. The whole dialog adapts it width to the width of the widest tab's content.
We could actually ditch comboboxes for selecting arrowheads and introduce a widget similar to GIMP's one for various resources like brushes, where a button opens a grid/table selector. If we are going to ever make vector brushes a no-brainer to use, we'll need such widget anyway.
Likewise we could steal dash pattern editor from GIMP (open Edit > Stroke selection, expand "Line style", and you'll see it).
