my 0.02 follows:

having the Profile Name edittable _above_ the list of profiles while all the 
other items are below probably isn't great. it should be moved down below 
with the other items.

it would be great if the "Save URLs in profile" actually noted which URL was 
being saved. in fact, it would be nice to just have it as an edittable field 
so that it's obviously what is happening. currently one has to grok that it's 
going to suck in the current URL from the window you called this dialog from.

why is Home URL optional (a checkbox?). would leaving the text edit blank be 
good enough to denot "none"?

when selecting "Save profile <foo>" from the menu, it shouldn't show the list 
of other profiles.

speaking of management the Delete and Rename buttons could be made to work on 
all profiles with the proper heuristics, such as making "Delete" mean "if 
it's a local file, remove the corresponding .desktop file, otherwise create a 
Hidden=true desktop file in the home directory" ... as it stands, it's not 
apparent to the user at all why she can delete/rename some, but not others

"VIew Profiles" as a term isn't very expressive and makes it sound like it 
should be in the View menu. perhaps a new terminology would be in order.

probably more than you were looking for, but... heh..
