This patch improves HIG compliance when compiled with FEAT_GUI_GNOME:

vim_dialog_yesnocancel() is renamed to vim_dialog_savediscardcancel
(),
because that's all it's used for. Same for
vim_dialog_yesnoallcancel().
I'll look into this later. Perhaps Save/Discard/Cancel is better for
all GUIs, since you don't need to read the text to know whether "yes"
means "save" or "discard". But it will break the translations.
Just being a lurker here, I would vote for this being in all GUIs
(not that we get votes here). Having the actual save/discard vs. yes/
no makes it much simpler to look at a message box and know which
button to press (probably why the "File Changed" dialog in Vim is a
bit easier to decide what to do than the "Save Changes" dialog IMO).
FWIW, the OS X guidelines also recommend this as well, (though they
seem to prefer "Don't Save", Discard is better than "No").
Breaking translations is unfortunate though, but it is a one-time
cost (hopefully)... Vim 7.1-type thing?
