I'm normally the first guy to bleat about consistency, but this really
does feel like a big regression in usability to me - this is one of
the few (the only?) dialog that people are likely to open over and
over again when creating another object. We already know that is
cumbersome (that's why there's a complete redesign of the table
dialogue on the TODO) - this will make it worse.
