--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Radio buttons are a good way to show the mutual dependency. But Dieter has a
point with his questions as "[ ] Do not split" meaning splitting is allowed has
no direct consequence to orphan and widow settings (and I'd definitely keep the
common terms).

It means essentially this

(o) Do not split paragraph
( ) Do split paragraph
    [ ] Orphan control [   ]
    [ ] Widow control  [   ]
[x] Keep with next paragraph

and I'm not sure it improves usability. The term "Do split paragraphs" is just
odd (or in other words the current checkbox is very clear).

What we could do is to show the orphan/widow options indented under the split
paragraph setting. And we have to invert the logic so split enabled
orphan/widow.

[x] Split paragraph
    [ ] Orphan control [   ]
    [ ] Widow control  [   ]
[x] Keep with next paragraph
