Description Matthias Warkus 2008-03-30 21:19:15 UTC 
Through the ::buttons property, GtkMessageDialog encourages developers to use OK/Cancel and Yes/No dialogs, which goes against the principles of the HIG. The property along with the GtkButtonsType enum should be deprecated; passing something other than GTK_BUTTONS_NONE as the buttons parameter to the _new functions should throw a warning.

We've documented OK, YES_NO and OK_CANCEL as 'discouraged by the GNOME HIG'
