When compiling GTK+2.6, you will alwys get the "MacOS order" on your buttons without the chance to tell to use the Alternative-button-order, which makes gtk2 based applications always have the wrong orde on request windows when you are using KDE or any other environment that uses the "standard order". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gtk+ Actual Results: You get the help-cancle-ok order on buttons Expected Results: Users should have the option to select which order to have in gtk2 applications, for KDE users it would be ok-cancle-help The fix would be quite easy to implement to the gtk+2.6 ebuilds IUSE="doc tiff jpeg static gtk-alt-buttons" ... src_unpack() { ... use gtk-alt-buttons && epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.6-altbutton.patch ... } and then have the following patch: --- gtk/gtksettings.c 2005-03-04 14:22:19.170801664 +0100 +++ gtk/gtksettings.c 2005-03-04 14:22:28.709351584 +0100 @@ -431,7 +431,7 @@ g_param_spec_boolean ("gtk-alterna tive-button-order", P_("Alternati ve button order"), P_("Whether b uttons in dialogs should use the alternative button order"), - FALSE, + TRUE, G_PARAM_READW RITE), NULL); g_assert (result == PROP_ALTERNATIVE_BUTTON_ORDER);
Created attachment 53072 [details, diff] gtk+-2.6-altbutton.patch Makes alternative button order default, this makes it easy for KDE users to have applications like GIMP2 to fit in buttonwise into the KDE environment.
this is not an error, it's a design choice. Go look up the gnome hig. Luckily for users who take ye old mistakes over usability design they made it easy to set in gtkrc. Good luck with that, but thats the best we can do for you.
