Rather then mess with the code, why not just be more creative with the
German translation?  Think of it this way: if "Voreinstellungen
benutzen" was the English way of saying "Use Defaults", then we
wouldn't have made the buttons bigger -- we would have figured out
another (shorter) way of saying the same thing!

Surely there must be a German way of getting this idea across without
using such long words..
