No, this was not intentional. I just forgot to set the option to allow
it to be resized (resizing is apparently off by default in a gnome
dialog).

Plugins are allowed to define their own top level and secondary level
entries in the category tree. The reason no entries other that the
standard Database, Display, and Usage show up is that there are
currently no plugins that use the preferences extentions. So it would be
possible to have:

 + Database
 + Display
 + Usage
 + Internet
    |
    + Proxy
    |
    + GNTP Hosts
