I'll reply to myself to clarify the situation.

This is stock GNOME in Sid:

This is GNOME from Ximian Desktop 2:

The application which displayed this dialog is gedit. Don't use Galeon
as that in Sid wraps the Mozilla dialogs.

As far as I know, the patches which make XD2 look like it does depend on
a CUPS server being used. It might be possible to ship the patch in the
libgnomeprintui source package, and build a libgnomeprintui-cups binary
package with the patch applied.
