eats precious screen real estate, which is already bloated.

if you take a closer look, for quite some time (since ever?) the "Preset
Name:" label, the preset name edit-box and the "Save" and "Delete" buttons
are all on the same line and in this sequence, an usual pattern for preset
management (found on all of my apps, btw:)  and if you hover the mouse on
the "Save" button the tool-tip balloon will tell you that it "Save settings
as current preset name".

ain't that enough?
