Fixed the citation dialog.

It isn't "example text". It's the "first key in the citation".

I do not see this. I believe that Asger fixed this.

These all occur because these dialogs are derived from FormBaseDeprecated and
the input() function can return only valid/invalid (true/false). The dialogs
ported to the Control-View split have an input() function that returns
valid/invalid/no-op.
Perhaps it would be best to simply disable the button controller for these
"old" dialogs. Anybody think that this is a bad idea?

I think that this is a documentation issue. There is no concise way of
putting all this in the dialog. Moreover, I think that we should use this
methodology for all GUI-inputted lengths eventually, in which case it is
definately a doc issue.
Explicit lengths
cm Centimeters
em One em is about the width of the letter M in the current font
ex one ex is about the height of the letter x in the current font
in Inches
pc Picas (1pc = 12pt)
pt Points (1in = 72.27pt)
mm Millimeters
% Percentage of the page width
But what about
sp
bp
dd
cc
mu
c%
p%
l%

Fixed all except the tabular dialog.
