Why should I get the choice between A4 / Legal / Letter size of paper ? In 
France, you can't buy in a shop Legal size paper only A4 and I guess in North 
America it is the opposite. You should be able to change the size of the 
paper in a Option dialog (you do it once in a while) or with a wizard but not 
in a startup dialog where if you fumble and press by mistake the wrong size 
you'll finish with strange problems when you start printing.

I think it is the best solution. The user will understand than pressing the 
'Open existing file' is the same action than doing File-->Open. The same 
action should bring the same widget.
