yes, a wizard would be a cleaner solution than what I was thinking,
but in fact empty and smart imply only 1 step so they are ok attached
to a menu, maybe a single dialog to explain or group the other
playlist types would be enough

I have looked again at translations and found that something is missing.

It seems that some changes are needed to translate plugin descriptions
and names, see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libanjuta/stable/plugin-description-file.html

Grepping the sources I can't find some strings like "Only show user
activatable plugins", "Load", "Available Plugins", I guess they come
from libanjuta but I see them translated in Anjuta and not translated
in gtkpod.

Here are some defects in that I'm not able to fix:

1. in Preferences / Track Display when adding to the displayed columns
list, the Add Column dialog opens in the middle of the screen and
doesn't stay on top of the preferences window even if it apparently
uses the right code
plugins/track_display/track_display_preferences.c:280:
gtk_window_set_transient_for (GTK_WINDOW (dlg),
notebook_get_parent_window());
(I checked that notebook_get_parent_window() doesn't return NULL)

2. again in Preferences / Track Display the dialog to add a word to
the ignore list uses the main window as parent (it may get hidden by
the preferences window and stays in front of the main window)

3. all dialogs opened from the preferences window can be opened only
once, the second time they fail (you can press ESC to close the small
window), I think they correctly call gtk_widget_destroy() so I don't
know what to check
