"those" = "arrow styles"?

Anyway, our current line dialog (e.g. in Draw) has:

1. A section named "Arrow Styles" on the "Line" tab.
2. A tab named "Line Style"
3. A tab named "Arrow Styles"

which is confusing to me. It seems to have confused Telesto as well, since the
steps-to-reproduce mention the Arrow Styles tab, but the relevant controls are
in the Line tab: The Arrow Styles tab does _not_ have a 'Synchronize Edges'
checkbox.

Now regarding Telesto's ask: I believe that:

* The "Synchronize Ends" checkbox should be enabled (i.e. not-grayed-out) even
when no arrow style has been selected on one or both of the ends.
* When "Synchronize Ends" is checked, I suggest the other controls (currently
above it) change to reflect the synchronization and clarify what aspects are
synchronized. Specifically, one of two things should happen IMHO when
"Synchronize Ends" is checked:

Option 1: The End-of-arrow controls become grayed out; they are set
automatically to be in sync with the settings for start of-line. This may also
motivate moving the "Synchronize Ends" checkbox to that side of the tab.

Option 2: The End-of-arrow controls are removed. The label(s) should changed to
reflect the choices are for both ends, so "Start Style" becomes "Ends Style" or
"Start & End Style". Possibly, the illustration graphic with the arrowheads
will now draw the arrowhead on both sides of the sample arrow.
