Ah...someone remembers us rodent-resistant keyboard users! Thank you so
much for your consideration. :-)

But I think you can eliminate the functionality concerns from this
conversation. If desired, tab stops can be programmatically controlled
to set focus on the default button following the last text field in the
form.

Good points - but mouse-centric - remember that a heavy keyboard user
will
loath to use the mouse - and will use the "Tab" key to move from one
form
element to the next - so they will arrive at the left action button
first.
The locative aspect of Fitt's law doesn't apply because the model window
is
in the center of the screen - not the bottom right-hand corner of the
view
port.
