Indeed, nice.

OK.

I don't see what you mean.

Indeed.
Another remark: the different buttons can be reached (i.e. have focus)
with the TAB key but:
- the order is a bit strange,
- none of them is "clicked" when they have the focus and the RET key is
hit,
- when the drop down lists have the focus, nothing special is displayed
(unlike the buttons which have a dotted box),
- when the checkboxes have the focus, a zero width dotted box is
displayed at their right side.
