a nice idea, though i am concerned this makes the dialog very wide and adds a lot of \
visual clutter.

what could work nicely, however, is to keep the same visual representation but to put \
them into a drop-down box (and keep the text title so people know what it does). \
essentially this would be turning the current textual entries into graphical ones, \
which would be easier for the average person to figure out, i'm sure.
