The difference is too big to be ignored, so since we already can differentiate between maemo4 and maemo5, I'll import your UI optimization.
Ah, makes sense why the buttons are over there then. Since the dialog size can't be 800x480 like the code requests, that is how gtk crammed everything on the screen.

Maemo 5 also uses "stackable windows" more often than dialogs, and since they can be full screen I considered re-writing the dialog code. But then decided it would be better to leave it as close to the original code as possible since the minor change already made it much more usable than it was. Now thinking about the differences between Maemo 4 and 5 it definitely seems better this way.
