Looks good to me. The only changes I'd make are "Advanced" instead of
"Optional" as the new tab name, and ensure Connect Now defaults to on
for new connections.
BTW - did you mock this up directly in the XRC code (as opposed to
Gimp or something)? If so, it's probably easier for you to tweak and
commit that. Otherwise I'll look at it today.
