Your basic idea of merging the dialogs MAY be good (?) but I don't like
your way of implementing it. Sorry.

The dialogs should merge in a more clever way, reusing the existing GUI
controls.
Now everything is just copy-pasted into one big form with partly duplicate
information, making the result look messy.
What a new user will think when he opens Lazarus for the first time and
gets a form like that? Uhh!
The options dialog is already very crowded even for experienced users. I
don't see why it should get a new pane with confusing and duplicate texts.
