Well; the number input dialog made me wonder what the 'unit' was.
cm/milimeters/pt whatever.  After looking a bit longer I noticed that its just
a range from 1 to 10.   I find the usage of a slider makes that a lot clearer.
Not all users will like to think in numbers, certainly not when the limits
are not directly noticable.
So I think this is indeed nicer.

This actually is standard;  the usability rule is that if something can't ever
be enabled means it should not be visible at all.
The fact that the implementation reuses the dialog for different type of objects
really should not be visible to the user.

Could you also change the rc file and the kaction to move the new dialog to be
the standard, and only one?

Thank you for your work on this!
