What Martin wrote sounds like we have dialogs where we have wizard buttons ([Abort] [Back] [Next]) PLUS [OK] [Cancel] button in the same dialog.
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 :-)
