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.
If that is the case, then it is not apparent to a user. here's a screenshot of the dialog: http://www.booki.cc/inkscape-1/_v/1.0/static/Inkscape-StrokeStyle-strokestyl... There are very long drop-down boxes for markers which coulod be shrunk easily, and plenty of padding to the right of the labels. What specifically in the stroke editor inhibits shrinking? Perhaps it's something that's only apparent in other languages such as German? I know the common wisdom is to keep 33% spare space for German in strings.
