[MonoDevelop] [PATCH] configure switch editor

[Lluis Sanchez Gual]

Hi,

I like the idea. There are some issues with the GUI, you should take a
look at the GNOME HIG. Some comments:

      * Labels should be aligned to the left.
      * There should be no spacing between the text of the label and the
        colon.
      * The margin between the controls and the border of the window is
        too small.
      * The GUI is a bit confusing. There are entries for entering the
        data, which are updated when the selection changes in the list,
        but changing the entries won't update the list. Instead,
        modifications must be done directly in the list. It would be
        better to do all editing in the list.
      * Configuration switches should not be specific to Autotools. We
        could support them also with simple makefiles (although this can
        be done later).

Lluis.
