Agreed. I saw Paul's first check in as a proof of concept that he
succeeded at creating the scrollable box and button without using
Qt widgets. I believe this has the new UI in mind and this is all
good and opens up possibilities for a more attractive and useful page.
The problem is that there is a release pending so I want to at least
get back to status quo for now.

Agreed but I didn't want to be too hasty with that. Most pages in the
UI don't have any sort of "OK", "Cancel" or "Go Back" button but assume
that you know to hit ESC to get out. The reason the "OK" button was put
on the details page was to cue the user that there was nohting to do
here but leave =), to make the page less barren and to match the other
dialog pages with these same buttons.

I think so. The room could be used for even more text or better layout.
