FWIW, because there's a comparatively large amount of text in the list,
I think this style of dialog works best where the icon is the main
factor in deciding which item to choose-- which means it works great for
the background and theme capplets, but perhaps not so well in this
case.  (Nor, to a lesser extent, in the new Add to Panel dialog, where
the downside is balanced out by being able to use typeahead because all
the applets are in the same list).

Cheeri,
Calum.
