Sorry, but due to time stamp problems on my PC I am resending my email
from a few minutes ago to ensure that it appears in your mailbox in
chronological order.

Thanks Lukas for reminding me :-)

No, that was not what I meant.
Most of the YaST dialogs show the buttons [OK] [Back] [Cancel]
OK/Cancel are active, Back is disabled.
See: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Back_button_disabled.png

I think, that in the mail I wrote yesterday I forgot to point out, that
I am really, really glad that many modules have the OK/Cancel
combination. Thanks for that!

The point which irritated me were the inactive [Back] buttons, which
didn't make sense to me and which are (according to my understanding)
unnecessary.

As OK/Cancel are the only necessary buttons the next question which came
into my mind: hey, there is this button box widget, which is used in pop
up dialogs but not in overview/edit dialogs.
Why is that so?

As I couldn't get answers from some YaST developers in Nuremberg I
decided to ask you that question on the mailing list.

>From a usability point of view the button box bears many advantages and
using a button box in pop ups and not in dialogs bears some
inconsistency dangers.
So I think that this is a matter to be discussed with you :-)


Have fun,

Martin
