Hi List!

I've used Glade to make a prototype of a page for the preferences
dialog:

[image]

The icons work like radio buttons.

The "Defaults" button will reset the settings to the values as shown.

If a radio button is pressed and the same button for another pane is
already set, the old button will be set to a different value,
so one option (e.g. the "Packet List") will never be selected twice.


More than three panes on the screen might become too complicated to
handle with, at least for this preference page IMO.

We could add other radio buttons later, like "Nothing" or "Endpoint
List", but I would like to implement it the way described above to get
an idea if its working ok.

As we have lot's of space in the page and only a few options, I would
prefer radio buttons as they are better understandable. If we later
get a lot more options, we might want to use three drop-down lists.
