Overall, it's a good idea, because the dialog can keep its fixed size.
But there is still some issues I think : With the first idea, it is not 
clear that several sensors can be activated at once, probably because 
it's a combo box, in my mind, a combo box is for an "exclusive" OR choice
I think the 2nd idea is better, more efficient, but unusual ^^. I never 
seen a check box in a combo box. But at least, when the user click, he 
knows he has several choices. So it does the job.

Another idea could be to make of the left list of the brush dialog a 
tree view, instead of a simple list : each sensors would be an item in 
the sub-list. Clicking on an item of the list would load a dialog 
similar to your image. (So my idea is exactly how it is done now, except 
sensors are moved in a sub-tree :p).
