I just tested the patch, and have to agree with Benni on this point. 
Even though I see your point with having all image options in the first 
tab for the "image only" content element, I find it a little confusing. 
So for the sake of consistency I vote for moving it into the Media tab 
even for the "image" CE.

- The "To top" flag is still inconsistently placed: It's in the media 
tab for "Text with Image" but in General at all other places.

In general, I am in favour of having an even leaner General tab with 
basically just "type", "title", and "header" (plus a few more general 
options maybe), but having ALL specific content element related options 
in a separate tab... What do you think?

cheers
Ingmar
