[patch #6219] Descriptives Dialog

[John Darrington]

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #6219 (project pspp):

It seems pretty good to me.

1. In data-editor.c,  you should change    _("Descriptives") to
_("_Descriptives") so it'll preserve the accelerator key for the menu item. 

2. put_statistics_in_treeview should be static

3. Other software has a "Save standardized values as variables" checkbox to
implement the /SAVE option.

4. I think the dialog box looks nicer if you set the following widget
properties:

 frame11: FrameShadow = "Etched In"
 vbox30:  Padding = 5
 vbox31:  Padding = 5
 scrolledwindow14: ShadowType = "Etched In"

5. Putting all the options in a treeview is a good idea.  However it departs
from the user interface of the Chicargo company's software.  I've been tending
to follow their UI fairly closely, even though it sometimes conflicts with the
Gtk/Gnome HIG.  I guess at some stage we should decide upon some semi-formal
policy  here.
