The current layout is good. However, the buttons for adding a new languag=
e and=20
for selecting the default language and the two tab bars take a relatively=
=20
large amount of space (1/3 of the availabel height if we do not change th=
e=20
size of the overall window). In the case of plug ins with many options it=
=20
would be good if the plug in configuration widget would have as much spac=
e=20
available as possible.

Is it possible to move the buttons for adding a new language and for sele=
cting=20
the default language to a new tab? If we did so, we could add the languag=
e=20
tabs to the top tab line. I will produce some pictures later in order to=20
illustrate these ideas.

This would likely be confusing to a user who wants to change the language=
 of a=20
plug in.
