First of all: I think it looks a lot nicer now, much cleaner and less verbose. :)

I agree that the row with the name and lock widgets does not look well balanced 
right now. I wonder if it would look less - or even more - unbalanced if you 
moved the Name field to the center again, pushing the lock switch to the right 
of the center? Even though the whole row would not be centered anymore, maybe it 
would still look better because at least the name field is centered?

Another point: Could you please change the dialog title and button label to 
Title Case? Unless there is a good reason to break with conventions and switch 
completely to Sentence case, I'd prefer using Title Case for all titles and 
button labels. Lamarque's work on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299039 is 
also affected by this decision.

Cheers,
Thomas
