Correct me if I'm wrong.

Right now, I think the 2 different dialogs are created by 2 entirely
different plugins - one for Windows and one for Linux. For years, it's
been the intention that the Linux one were to be ported to Windows, but
nobody's gotten around to it yet, because other things took precedence
(and not many of the devs use windows).

In other words, it's on the todo list to make them the same, just near the
very bottom of the list.
