That is a very nice demo of different spacing. I like the gnome-style, although it may well be too big. The third dialog is pretty good (perhaps my favourite) I like the second dialog in terms of its spacing and indentation around the top half of the dialog, but the spacing around the buttons looks wrong. It isn't uniform between the rightmost button edge - dialog edge, and the bottom of button to the dialog bottom. The Third dialog has this correct.

I don't like raw-gtk. Perhaps some time I can take some screen-shots of a gschem from within Clearlooks. It also helps to compare any spacing differences. > I'm tired now. Good night. I've been tired for weeks.. can't seem to stop coding is the problem!
