Dialogues tend to look better the closer they get to the screen's aspect
ratio --- the screen frame is the single dominating element of any UI,
and elements that conflict too much with this are jarring. TBH, though,
I think your dialogue is sufficiently small for this not to be an issue
in this case.
It's also important to be careful about extending dialogues vertically,
because since screens are wider than they are tall, vertical screen
space is far more precious than horizontal --- I have a netbook where
Gnome is practically unusable because most of the dialogues simply won't
fit vertically on the screen...
