This is a huge improvement over the existing UX.

This is also a big improvement.  It's nice to see ldesc finally being used.

I have one minor fix (patch attached) and one suggestion: It would be 
good, if possible, for setup to remember the column widths if the user 
changes them, just as it now remembers the size and position of the 
chooser window.

Thanks for doing this.  It must have been a lot of work.
