Hello,

 I'm trying to fix this bug

        http://zeitlin.homeunix.com/cgi-bin/mbugs/show_bug.cgi?id=775

but I can't find the right UI for such disable-either-for-this-folder-or-
globally-or-even-somehow-else message box. I came up with 3 alternatives so
far and would like to know which one do you think is the best:

        http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/M/radio.png
        http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/M/check2.png
        http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/M/check3.png


 I think the one with radio buttons is not bad but I had to make the
strings very short (and potentially confusing) to keep the dialog
proportions reasonable. BTW, vertical layout doesn't look nice neither,
even for a dialog with a lot of text such as this one, for other dialogs
with only 2-3 lines of text it would be even worse.

 The check2 version is kind of ok but the problem is that it's not
extensible, i.e. if I want to disable the question just for this PGP key
(see bug 775 for details) I don't know how to extend it to deal with this.

 This is why I created check3 with the idea that more check boxes can be
added. This is nice because it is consistent (of course there would be no
check boxes at all if the question is global) but it just looks slightly
weird...

 What do you think? Can you propose something better? If not, which of the
above do you prefer?

 Thanks!
VZ

P.S. Please don't pay attentions to the missing icon and such, it's just
     a mock up
