Please don't use personal preferences in choosing offsets for dialog
layout.  The Gnome HIG goes into some detail on how windows should be
laid out.

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/design-window.html
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/design-text-labels.html

If you can't find something listed there, then make dialogs consistent
with the existing dialogs.  If the existing dialogs are inconsistent, we
should make them consistent.  If we can't decide on that's the right
answer for consistency, we should ask questions of the HIG developers.
