For display can't it do the same as Nautilus and display relevant units?
i.e. by /boot partition is 100MB, my /home is 50GB, and the work NAS
storage is 2TB (gnome_vfs_format_file_size_for_display) is the relevant
API call.
For entry a combo by the field seems like a good idea, bonus points for
making a entry + dropdown combination a custom widget so that you can
just call entry_get_size() to get the entered size in bytes. :)
