my opinion is that the second panel is not a good idea, at least not as shown 
in the screenshot. reasons:

* the icons are not immediately obvious in function, but there is no room for 
text
* they do not line up with the list items which makes the whole dialog look 
messy and probably puts requires cognitive load to process visually
* they will not be used frequently, but are always shown

if filtering is a must (i'm not personally convinced it is, but ok :) then i 
would suggest perhaps putting them in the bottom drawer that expands when 
clicked on.

they could appear there as a horizontal row of icons which can be selected?
