It does look good, but it will be difficult to maintain those good looks as options inevitably get added. The Gimp preferences dialog is great; Mozilla's is very similar. It uses a tree control in the left pane; clicking on a node brings up a page of related options on the right. This allows even more logical organization than a notebook control, including the ability to have subheadings and to separate "advanced" options from common ones. Hopefully, it would be straightforward to borrow Gimp's code, since it uses GTK+. I also think that the more similarities between Gimp's and Dia's user interfaces, the better.
