Can you confirm that this[0] is the dialog.

Maybe Gtk.Dialog should be a subclass of Gtk.Window; they discuss the UI
this way on their HIG :)

If they read the same and have two opposing states then I see no
difference between the two, on paper.

However, in use, two separate paths ('Yes/No' buttons) are different
than two connected states ('On/Off' switch).

And this is how the other dialogs work from what I see; switches seem
used for simpler things that don't need explanation.

Also, I find it difficult to create natural language text that leads up
to an 'On/Off' switch; asking 'Yes/No' questions is really easy. Maybe
sajolida can help with this.

With this said, I am not intimately familiar with the logic behind GNOME
designations, so it may be that because there are opposing options (path
or state) that a switch is the interface element to use even though a
question might be more natural. If this is the case, then no worries :)
