I am using 4.5.1, at least that is what Qt Creator is reporting.

Actually, I am technically OK with having the buttons there and
disabled.  If I don't initialize the dialog with any flags, the buttons
don't show up at all.  If I use the flags, they show up but are
disabled.  That seems backward.  If I don't specify any flags, I would
expect the buttons to show.  Since I am specifying the window flags,
there are hints to add the buttons and I didn't ask for them to be
there.  That seems to be how it acts on the other platforms, just not on
OS X.
