It's great. Thanks to Øivind Hoel for bringing up this idea, and kudos 
to you for implementing it!

I have the same problem, but didn't yet file a bug on it. I'll do it in 
a minute,

I agree, it would be nice if the dynamic texts somehow stands out.

I have a few problems with that:
1) if we are to keep the current big icons with the text underneath, we 
want to order them horizontally. Otherwize all text and icon parts are 
alternating, which provides no good overview. If we order the options 
vertically, the text-parts should indeed be right of the icons, as in 
the ascii-mockup of of Øivind Hoel.
2) Because we need more width than height for the text are, and we want 
it to be a bit subtle, the right-side isn't really appropriate. It would 
take half the dialog.

I think if we make the text somehow stand out (by a border), it would 
just look great. (The border-line between the two icon rows could be 
shorter, to make it a softer seperation).

Thanks, great work! :-)
