My certificate manager dialog looks like this:

http://bugs.gnome.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=20406

It looks like mozilla xul based certificate manager, but i found some ugly
things about it:

- It is only able to export certificates from the personal tab. I was
thinking in converting the export button as a dialog button (like import),
but i not sure if i will be possible to disable it when no selection is made
(GTK/GNOME HIG allows that?)
- The View and Remove buttons are repeated on every notebook page, but if
those buttons are moved as a dialog button, there will be many buttons
there. Another option is to place the buttons at the right side of the
notebook but outside it

comparing it with the image located at:

http://patches.theflowerdays.com/cert/ie_manage.gif

- I don't like the missaligment between the Advanced and View buttons
- I don't find useful the "Certificate intended purposes" group box

and both screenshots has the following problems

- It is not easy to know if the export button exports only the selected
certificates from the current tab or from all tabs. Mozilla xul certificate
manager allows only to export (Backup) from the "Your certificates" tab
