Modern versions of GTK provide functionality which allows applications to use both the Gnome/Mac OS X style button order we recognise as well as an alternative button order for KDE/Windows style. Users should request applications use the recommended button order from the Gnome Guidelines and to also support the alternative button order. Hopefully we can put this discussion to rest.
