Cool, thank you for this involvement. As a quick "I got 2 minutes to
spend 2 cents", when I'm building an app I try to look at existing
apps, for instance thunar and the xfce4-settings dialogs are a good
reference. The most important thing is to get the margins right.
Afaict the default is to have a border/margin of 6 here and there.
Configuration dialogs have a heading (already said) and they use a
normal GtkFrame with a bold title and a left margin to group settings.
Roughly said, but that's it about it.

Regards
Mike
