[Qt-interest] QMessageBox and standart buttons

[Constantin Makshin]

If a "problem" is specific to your system, then there's something "wrong"  
with your system and not Qt.

I second Thiago -- the idea to set such platform-specific things like the  
order of common dialog buttons to what looks "right" to you is bad.
