Review request for Calligra.


Description
-------

The dialog for the guides tool looked a little confusing to me (besides the three icons missing):
* the erase-previous-guides checkbox was lined with the put-guides-at-x-edge checkboxes
* the put-guides-at-x-edge checkboxes were not lined with the number-of-guides inputs
* to add guides, first the checkbox for the orientation has to be clicked to enable, then only the number-of-guides input
* order is vertical, then horizontal, while in other places it is horizontal, then vertical

Attached patch fixes all that, by
* using order horizontal, then vertical
* removing the checkboxes for the orientation and using None value for no guides
* moving the put-guides-at-x-edge checkboxes behind the respective number-of-guides input
* turning the icon-only erase-previous-guides checkbox into a text-only one, for more expliteness (and removing need for icon)

Not yet perfect, but a little better than before IMHO.
