I think that can be done with the radio button you got. What would be
lacking is a toggle button for the "apply to all" stuff.

Actually the dialog is defined in the xffm.glade file. Several buttons
and icons appear but depending on the context they are shown or hidden.
To get the effect you mention all that has to be done is to move things
around in glade2. I did it this way to make it easy to modify without
breaking anything. All that needs to be respected are the widget names.
Feel free to do any changes so that it will look better.

Hmm. Yea. The local wastebasket should dissappear too. I'll fix it ASP.

And it's actually useful now :-)
