I never remember. Am I supposed to enter from stage left, or stage right?
And is this our can-can number, or does that come later?
Variant of B: Ditch the enable/disable all (Or, if you're *really* attached,
make the button text variable, such that clicking it once will enable all,
and change the text to 'disable all'). Then, move the configure to
underneath the list (left-justified), and move the ok/cancel underneath it as
well (right-justified), to make it all look purty. My eyeballing it says it
should work.
