Personally I don't think checkboxes in a list look too odd, see
iTunes<http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/12/itunes_jukebox_la=
rge.jpg>for
example. I agree with Celeste that it's more intuitive to use
checkboxes. But that doesn't belong to this topic, so I won't discuss it
further.
As for the combobox, my first thought when I saw the picture was to put it
on top. However, I see a problem with this approach: it feels reversed
somehow. I think there is a high possibility that users fail to see the
connection "Select a timezone in KTimeZoneWidget" -> "Another item pops up
in combobox". This is much clearer in the first picture in my opinion (firs=
t
select the desired timezones, then choose the default one).
With that said, I still agree with Aaron's argument.
