I do wish the up/down arrows were a bit better, but that's really all  
that the silk icon set has to offer.

I would disagree.  Checkboxes are used in locations where more than 1  
option can be set at the same time - such as message flags.  Row  
highlighting is used where there is only one option of the bunch that  
can be set at a given time (see, e.g., the quick search Search By  
submenu).

A button doesn't really work here - when dragging, the Folder Actions  
row converts into a "Move to Base Level" row, and the UI swapping  
between the two would be ugly.

Maybe adding a separator row would make more sense.
