you are right, but this indents the labels in the menu.

Some dialogs need small fixes, I think you can fix them faster than me ;-)

"New Playlist" accepts an empty string as playlist name and it allows
to create playlists with duplicated names; at least the empty name
should be forbidden.

"Initialize iPod" accepts any string as mountpoint, even an empty
string, and it doesn't check if it exists but creates it if it has
permissions (if you give "foo" as mountpoint it creates a foo
directory with iPod_Control and so on inside it); it should fail if
the given mountpoint doesn't exist.

Also in this Initialize dialog I see 3 empty submenus at the bottom of
the list of iPod models, inside them I see iPhone 16GB xC603, iPod
Touch xC540, 8 GB Nano xC525 and so on, is it a problem with my
version of libgpod? If it's in libgpod, can gtkpod replace the empty
string with something generic? Like "Other devices 1", "Other devices
2", ...

And now for some menu shuffling... since Create iPod's Directories
doesn't deal with tracks, it could be moved from Music to Tools and
maybe some text added to the dialog to explain what happens to
existing directories.

I have played with glade for a possible replacement of the "New
Playlist" function activated with Ctrl+N (see the attached file), the
various combinations of manual/auto would call the code for empty
playlist, smart playlists, the other playlists (for which a new dialog
would be needed) and possibly setting the checkboxes in the Playlist
properties dock. What do you think?
