Just for completeness, here is a screenshot of the (unfinished) Diablo version: http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=3925&stc=1&d=1250602896 > What you could do instead is to replace the checkbuttons with a GtkTreeview > (inside pannable), i.e. a list: > * you can keep the "checkbox graphics" within the list, but that will > require custom cellrenderer > * remove the "info" and "settings" buttons for each plugin for this dialog > * pressing the list item on top of checkbox, would obviously turn it on/off > * pressing the list item elsewhere would open a sub-dialog, which would > contain the info/settings stuff for the plugin.

I think it's cluttered. I'm already unhappy to have two levels of dialogs. 2) Tapping on the check box of the row will perform a different action than tapping on the text of the row. I think this is confusing to the user as the text is basically the caption of the check box. Therefore text/caption and check box really belong together. But of course I could recreate the same layout as I have now, but instead of buttons using a TreeView. It probably will work, but don't think it will look as clean as the buttons. I might give it a try, though. How is the cell renderer called that is used for the two-row text? Sorry, that I can't completely agree with your idea, but thank you for taking the time :) Hopefully we'll find something that looks nice and is functional. Cheers!
