Would it be possible to setup a poll on the whole cancel button thing. I thi k the results could be very telling.

Having read through this thread and the bug report, my admittedly warped mind came to this conclusion:

It would make more sense to me to open up a dialog, perhaps a file chooser and having selected the file I want, click on the background to go back into the program I was working with having choosen my file. Instead of an OK button, there would only be a "Cancel" button to close the dialog if I didn't want to make a choice. It seems to me that in most cases, the background area would be larger than the button area, which would make it better suited to be the default OK choice. The larger area would make it easier to hit. "Cancel" being the non-default choice should be harder to hit otherwise you would get a lot of false "Cancel"s

Just my 0.02 cents
