This is an excellent analysis, well done. I suggest raising your suggestions on the Control Center mailing list <http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomecc-list>. I just have one quibble: >... > One fix would be an Unlock widget which more closely demonstrates that > the dialog is presently locked.

The amount of "blah" required could be reduced if the button itself was moved to the top of the window. It makes little sense for a button at the bottom of a window to control the availability of all the controls *above* it.
