Mmm tesselations. Are those kangaroos? http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.41-CVS-linux-tiles1.png
I don't know :) This was the first tesselation I ever made, that's why it's so rather awkward :) Took me about half an hour in total to draw it.
GTK has stock buttons for Reset and Remove which I hope would be used and although it is not ideal I would use OK instead of Create so as to use a Stock button and keep plug-ins as consistant as possible (although I realise this is probably not implemented as a plug-in).
I don't like the "OK", "Create" is more descriptive. And using icons for some of the buttons and not others would look weird.
Yes and no.
You are better to use the stock buttons and then disable them in your theme if you do not like them. There are plenty of people who think button icons are a crap idea (frankly I thought they were hideous when Borland did it but I think they look alright in Gnome). The inconsistancey of some icons on buttons but not on others is rather crappy and there should probably be an easy way to disable button icons for all of gtk (the same way you can disable tearoff menus) but I strongly urge you to use STOCK buttons!

I expect that at some point you might want to add the ability to save Presets at the top of every plug-in dialog above the tabs something like this:
Presets [ dropdown list [v] [ Save...]
Yes, presets are a good idea. Some other things I may do sometime for this dialog:
I wouldn't worry about presets until it can be done in a generic way though (for all kinds of plugins, for page sizes, for corp sizes, for resizes/scales and other built-ins too).
Let me say again that it was phenomenal piece of work!
