Description Kristof Vansant 2005-02-09 14:41:44 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
this a link I found with some examples:

http://actsofvolition.com/include/savealerts/

I think introducing more dialogs could be interresting. The order and which
button has focus should be set by the HIG norms of the platform you're running on.

For example:
when I write a function to show a dialog box, the order will depend on the fact
I have windows, mac os x or gnome because they use different HIG.

As a programmer I don't want to worry about those orders.
And as an user I want the order to be the same in all my apps.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Concerning the example you cite, please see bug #74669, which was fixed in 
Oct'04 and part of Gtk+-2.6.

Many of the examples on the actofvolition.com website are either fixed by now 
or should be fixed to become hig compliant, but probably can't be forced into 
compliance through Gtk+. It is common to file specific bugs for each product 
when they are not HIG-compliant.
