About "Add" button in the "Add Rule" window:
"Add Rule" window isn't a modal window. It will visible always (if you click "Add..." in main window), and you can change the properties in main window simultaneusly.
It's as Gimp mode, you have 2 windows simultaneusly.
But you can close the "Add Rule" window if you push the "Close" button in "Add Rule" window.

In other way, if you need/like run the last version of Gufw, you can exec in terminal:
bzr branch lp:gui-ufw/gufw-10.04
cd gufw-10.04
sudo python gufw --dev

You can add or change the firewall as if Gufw will be installed.
When you finished, remove the gufw-10.04 directory ;)

Thanks and best regards!

Status in GUI for ufw: Confirmed

Bug description:
I do not use gufw, but based on the screenshot in <http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/7526/screenshot1i.png>, it has a few visual design glitches.

* All the buttons do not have enough padding: they should have "12 pixels of padding to either side of centered text" <http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/design-text-labels.html.en#layout-label-position>.

* Grouped buttons, e.g. "Add" and "Remove", should be the same width: "If appearing in a group of buttons, longest button label sets button size" <http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/design-text-labels.html.en#layout-label-position>.

* The "Incoming" and "Outgoing" menu labels should end with colons, i.e. "Incoming:" and "Outgoing:". This is not specified in the HIG explicitly, but is shown in all the examples in <http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/controls-option-menus.html.en>.

* The "Rules" listbox should have a border to make it look inset. Compare the screenshots in <http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/controls-trees.html.en>.

* ( Remove ) ( Add ) should be ( Add… ) ( Remove ), like it is in other programs that have that pair of buttons.

* The resize grippy for a window should be in the corner of the window.

* The "Add new rule" dialog should instead be "Add Rule". <http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/design-text-labels.html.en#layout-capitalization>

* In the same dialog, ( Close ) ( Add ) should be ( Cancel ) (( Add )).

It may help to split this bug report into eight bug reports that can be tracked separately.
