hi,
after try suse gnome for several time, i see suse is not consistent and not USER FRIENDLY here: 1. some dialog box show this action buttons: Yes or No, but some dialog box show: No or Yes 2. most of this dialog box show, .i.e: do you like apple? No-Yes. this is NOT HUMAN BEING! Usually we will show/speak/write in this order "Yes or No".
As a programmer, i know this come from 0=No and 1=Yes,
No no no no no. It comes from the Gnome "Human Interface
Guidelines"
people. It is not a SUSE thing, it is a gnome thing, and they did it conciously, with the idea that it would improve usability. You will see the exact
same
thing in any distribution that uses gnome software
Wow! You're right!

I wonder what they were smoking when they came up with those...
I wonder what I have been smoking, because I can't find a reference to the Yes/No or No/Yes buttons. 3 x Yes and 2 x No...
Where on the page is it?
Figure 3.12 - This shows Alternate, Cancel, Affirmative. It equates roughly to Cancel, No, Yes.
Hmmnnyes...
I've been thinking about this a bit - since I've been writing UIs since the TRS-80 days and GUIs since the early '90s,
Reminds me of my first steps^H^H^H^H^Htaps on a borrowed ZX-Spectrum.
I cannot remember ever seeing this layout. Very strange indeed.
I will look into putting the KGTk LD_PRELOAD hack into my system. Looks wonderful!
I really do believe that. But one needs to tweak the way each app starts. In that way it is indeed a bit hackerish (/only/ in that way). Hmm, just tried kgtk-wrapper.sh firefox. Guess what? Gnome's Open file dialog, and with [Cancel] [Open]. Seems like the button orientation is RTL instead of LTR... Man, must be good stuff they're using... 8o} ... LOL, had another Firefox window open. Closed it, tried again, did ^O, and got KDE's Open File dialog! Great! I like that.
Cheers,
Leen - quit smoking years ago ;P
Good for you! I haven't used my Weber for awhile, either.
Thanks. BTW, how long is "a while"? Cheers, Leen
