Maybe that's because of my large screen but I don't find this tab big or 
crowded.

I find combo boxes a bit overused in Xfce - they are good for things 
like a list of font sizes, browsing history etc. (many items with 
predictable values).

I don't think the interface has to be very intuitive (intuitive to 
whom?), but it should be discoverable. Whenever there is an nontrivial 
choice to make it is IMHO better to see what the choices are.

It looks good either way.
