Did you recently switch to KDE from Gnome? The order of the Cancel/OK is one of the ongoing flamewars on all the UI design discussion lists. If Ilan Volov is reading, he can hopefully provide some insight on this. But the crux of it is, KDE/qt folks believe in one method, and Gnome/gtk folks believe in the other, and they are set in their ways. I really believe that a standard system should be adopted, and if I were choosing it, it would be OK on the left and Cancel on the right, to be consistent with Microsoft Windows, thus making new Linux users more comfortable. However, if you're saying that you've been using KDE on Red Hat Linux 9 all along, and suddenly the buttons switched, then I have no idea what's going on. I don't think that the Bluecurve theme that Red Hat includes changes the order of the buttons, but maybe it does? Could that be related? --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
