Well, the color and wallpaper boxes are controlled by the combo box. When you 
change the combobox the group title of these two will change to "Wallpaper 
for 'Desktop 1'" and "Coloring for 'Desktop 1'" respectively. I think that's 
a reasonable indicaton. I don't want to group these two groups with another 
box because then you get box in box which is ugly.

I think the wallpaper selection is the most important option which is why I 
have moved it to the top. The coloring group then must follow that because 
they are both dependant on the comboxbox and should stay together for that 
reason. That leaves the icon text and preview at the bottom. 

I have tried to put the icon text and preview options at the top but then the 
combox becomes rather 'burried' in the dialog. It's also rather strange to 
have the icon text options at the top since these are rather secondary 
options.

All in all I'm quite pleased with the arrangement in the draft. I think it's a 
relative simple and clean dialog this way. I think that's important.

Cheers,
Waldo
