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).
