Comment 334 for bug 532633

than hardcore win user meets linux / gnome - at some point comes the question “why on earth someone switched buttons ok and cancel on dialog screens”. my response always is “to make you brainless monkeys read what you are clicking on”. than comes some laugh...

the question about changed border buttons location, while other distributions have it in default location, will be in the same unanswerable never-ending league like “I can not find firefox / thunderbird in debian”, no mater how many times you say “iceweasel / icedove”... even worse - changed button location is not changed branding - its fiddling with a habits, and habits don't go away easily!

by the way, most people I know, to increase productivity and working area - kills top panel on site. this way an argument of preparing some space for future improvements (my guess: deeper messaging integration, or something cloud related) is more of feature bloating or buzzword chasing instead of polishing useful bits already in there...

please reconsider, because the scale of average user irritation this change might bring is mind blowing...
