Personally I think that dialog is badly designed. Big waste of space,
not pretty. Check out Gaim 2's plugin dialog, just a List with
checkboxes and a description in the bottom.

I believe the simpler and more usable, the better. A list allows for
find-as-you-type, besides you could add icons if you wanted, etc.
