Description Jorn Baayen 2005-01-24 12:06:08 UTC 
There should be a 12 pixel border between the window border and the nearest
controls, see:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/windows.html#alert-spacing

Currently there is less. GtkFileChooserDialog does this right, see
gtk_file_chooser_dialog_style_set.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2005-01-25 21:29:11 UTC 
This needs to be done to all the complex dialogs;
color selector, font selector, input device selector,
message dialog all need the same treatment as the file chooser.
Comment 2 Michael Terry 2005-03-23 19:15:21 UTC 
I looked into this a little bit and it would be easiest to fix if the default
for the style property 'message-border' could be changed from 12 to 6.  (Then,
all we need to do is add a 6-pixel border-width to the dialog.)

Are the defaults for style properties something that can be changed pre-3.0? 
Who uses those, the theme authors?
