Separating the two is good :) I was trying to avoid this extra click to
go back because of the back and fourth upon scanning but being ale to
see this info before adding is better than how this '+/-' feature
functions in other OSs.
Maybe include the 'Add' button and place the backwards and cancel
functions next to it? This aligns more with other similar dialogs in
GNOME and their implementation in Tails but increases vertical height:
+-----------------------------------------+
| Add custom privacy settings |
| |
| +-------------------------------------+ |
| | MAC Spoofing | |
| | | |
| | Spoofing MAC addresses hides the | |
| | serial number of your network cards | |
| | from local networks. | |
| | _______ | |
| | MAC Address Spoofing: |_on|___| | |
| | | |
| +-------------------------------------+ |
| _______ ________ _____ |
| |_<Back_| |_Cancel_| |_Add_| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------+
Otherwise, I am unsure of how to deal with 'Add' once these dialogs are
separated.
However, the cancel function isn't as smooth, as it requires a matching
button and location on the listed dialog, so maybe we swap the location
with that of the backwards function:

Then we should change the way 'Universal Access' functions, it seems,
because they look the same. This looks difficult since there isn't much
to hover over on those.
The hover function (popovers (with arrows)) becomes the expected
function if the Greeter line items function this way, because they do
look the same.

Well, people have just created (or at least enabled) an administrative
account and logged into it at the same time, so 'Log Out' seems logical.
'Remove' would work, but people are really just reverting back to the
default setting, which is 'Disable'.
'Disable' works well, it seems.

More feedback. In the physical world, interactions rarely have remote
affects; this level of clarity in an experience is ideal.
If the address creation/selection happens after, then no worries; ignore
this.

The OR option is best, then, as it provides an 'On/Off' switch and the
two options in question, should 'On' be the case.

I am unconfident in the use of check boxes. However, if it removes the
double-click, I trust you to make it work (we can tweak it forever).
