Re: Button order

And you think those who decide what the user wants are right yes ? They could be as wrong as you - by saying the stuff in point 2)

No offense but 'Never change a running System' and KDE run's perfectly so far the wide acceptance of users aknowledge this.

They are not always right but neither are the users. For that reason, you should listen to users AND read litterature, make an idea and discuss it with others. ONLY listening to users or ONLY reading litterature are both bad.

Surely you already realize this, right?

    sure. i at least certainly do, but the button ordering example is a
    terrible one. using gnome2 default settings slowed me down, therefore
    i switched back to kde. you think windows users are likely to go along
    with it?, no way.

    kde is about pleasing users _and_ showing them the right direction,
    but going against the grain _isn't_ always the right thing and mac os
    may has gotten some things right but this is just wrong.

    the okay button is the most commonly used button of the two and the
    mouse user in general centers on the middle of the dialog therefore
    swapping the button positions will increase mouse movement and
    make it thus very likely that the user will have much further to move.
    there are far better ways of solving the rtl problem than making
    everyone else suffer for it.
