Probably these two dialogs can be merged, e.g. the rows and columns stuff could be an expander in the align & distribute dialog.
I've put together a design which I would like to propose to tidy up the dialog:

Sponteous thoughts: - the reuse of well-known icons in a different context with different meaning is confusing (at least to me). - just curious: why create a mega-dialog with multiple tabs if the same stacking can already be achieved by features of the dock itself? - missing (it was contributed in a branch in 2012): Polar arrangement Branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~declara91/inkscape/polar-arrangement Documentation: http://issuu.com/ddeclara/docs/inkscape_radial_arrangement Screenshots: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pow3b4x0hpgkjrz/uLCC6d4Dfm
In that branch, polar arrangment was added as second tab to the renamed 'Rows and Columns' dialog (-> Arrange: rectangular & polar), whereas 'Arrange & Distribute' remained in a separate dialog.
One of the requirements is that we have a size widget which includes units. It's weird we don't have this widget yet, but without it it the design gets quite cumbersome.
Thoughts?
