Hi Marcel,
Yes, the "accident" argument crossed my mind too; sorry for the noise :) When I try the various preferences I return to the Wizard quite often; I've noticed you added almost half of them to the Extras menu - that's perfect, such a convenient access! Tempted to ask why not all ;) 
Thanks,

best,

Also, I don't want the user to click on "Done" by accident, so I placed it in the lower right corner, which I think is common in Western GUI dialogs. The wizard is mainly for the initial Squeak experience where the world is not full screen but in a window. Sorry for any inconveniences on your wide-screen monitor with Squeak being in full-screen mode. ... I don't think the issues you described warrant the changes you suggested. :-/

(While keeping Done as is for a fast way out, indeed)
