It is annoying that the KDE standard layout is inconsistent with the Gnome standard layout, but KDE has their own guidelines for this just like Gnome does. The only application listed here which is doing the wro

"Do you really want to discard changes? Yes/No/Cancel" Yep, this is totally sad. That is why requested operation should be put on first: "Save current document?" so that user does not have to read through the line(s) to make a decision. About monopoly: yes it is. But users made it a monopol

Dolfy, one more thing about Yes/No/Cancel buttons, I really hate to read all this kind of message text that are constantly appearing on screen.

We fully agree on consistency, and I also accept that you don't like the Yes/No/Cancel approach, still I favor it. Just a stylistic comment. If you are asked a question: Save the current unsaved document? Then the logical answer to this is Yes or No, and not 'Save' or 'Don't save'. Regards, Dolf

Oh, I certainly think consistency is a good idea, I just think it's _really_ important that the buttons correspond to actions, not answers to questions. http://www.usabilitypost.com/2008/08/30/usability-tip-use-verbs-as- labels-on-buttons/ -- Inconsistent: Quit without saving Firefox, Gedit, Ope

Rich, If Yes/No is a bad idea, then we can use Save/Don't Save. The point here I think is consistency across the entire applications in default GNOME installation. -- Inconsistent: Quit without saving Firefox, Gedit, OpenOffice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389876 You received this bug notific

Dolfry, Please refrain from arguing for features just because they are present in a majority OS. We are NOT trying to emulate or copy them. We have our own goals and can be as different as we like. But, yes, I do agree that GNOME as a whole should present a consistent picture instead of the curre
