In the old dialog it was hidden. I think it makes sense to hide it completely
if the game does not support independent back selection. It also leaves more 
space for the other list; some card decks have long names that are partially 
hidden with the two lists layout.

Well, the assignment is wrong for most SVG decks.

There is a problem with the "Lock backside to frontside": the list of backside 
changes once it is deselected, at least with SVG cards.

And it should be hidden or ghosted anyway if the back selection is not 
available, like the other filter options. I think the filter options section 
should be hidden as well if nothing can be changed from there...

I feel the requester is too frame-heavy, but it was the same for the old 
dialog as well... And spacing is a bit large between the frames.

Fair enough.

Oh, I have just found out that the F9 and F10 shortcuts do not work in kpat.
That should be investigated...
