Ok, here is version number three of the new Preferences dialog. This one is a little smaller than the other previous one and should therefore be nicer to users with small screen size.
Excellent, there are still quite a few people using 800x600 (and I've little intention of going beyond 1024x768 because I prefer higher refresh rates to bigger desk area).
It also has better proportions between height and width of the window. I have also added Tobias idea of a icon in the right corner, even if I didnt use his borders (they added only noise, spacing is probably better to use for separating content).
Looks nice, the gimp also has an icon on the top right which presumably is where the idea came from.
I have also added a "reset to defaults button" so if you totally screw up the settings, you can always go back to the normal mode.
There is a stock Reset button you could use, and I'd put it to the left of Close. I'm not sure a seperate reset button for each tool is the best idea but maybe it is, who knows (but it would be a little bit more effort to implement).
I have not done any space on top of the dialog (for reusing with the xml and layers dialog) because I agree with Alan that dialogs similar to the ones in gimp would work better for those.
