        3.6.1. Additional Buttons
        
        Guidelines
        
      * Place buttons that apply to the dialog as a whole in the main
        button area row at the bottom of the dialog, to the left of the
        Cancel button. 

Both 'Reset' and 'Profiles...' buttons refer to all settings in the dlg,
so they have to be placed at the bottom.

As for counter settings - placing them under the Template doesn't seem
to save any space. Moreover, counters are logically connected to
templates, as they are used in template only. Aligning counter values
with template entry denotes their association with each other.
