Thanks for pointing this out.
Yeah, I agree it's not very pleasing, evenly spreading the radio buttons
out horizontally like that.
I think maybe this dialog could use a little reworking, as I suspect the
original layout was made with the assumption it needs to fit in on a
640x480 VGA display, which is probably no longer valid. :)

Unfortunately, the tool used to merge in updated translations uses the
English dialog layouts as a template, so per-language customizations
like this will be hard to maintain.
