Horizontal Dialog is not something easy to put in shape.
The only succesfull horizontal dialog that I know is the one of Blender. 
But even for Blender, it bring lot's of problem (ie the modifier stack).

So I vote for keeping the Krita UI spirit here: vertical dialog.
Krita could change the current vertical dialog (option, layer) to a 
filter dialog. Then go back to the default UI after the operation.
