At the moment the button order of the buttons at the bottom of the dialogs is GNOME/Mac-OS like. There should be a way to change it to be more like KDE 3 or Windows. I couldn't find anything for it in systemsettigs.

Has "ButtonLayout=1" option been implemented on KDE 4?

the buttons take on the ordering of the environment they are in for consistency. if you run it in a windows or kde desktop, you get the windows/kde traditional ordering. if you runt it in gnome or on a mac, you get their ordering, etc. we just follow the ordering of the environment the application runs in.

p.s. your blog entry was a low class act. but i'll respond to it over there.

I'm sorry, but I'm running KDE 4 apps on top of KDE 4 (started using "startkde") and now KDE 3 (started using "/opt/kde3/bin/startkde"), and they still have the GNOME/Mac buttons order. OK is on the right, and cancel is on the left.

I see. It doesn't happen here and I'm using KDE 3 or KDE 4 on Mandriva Linux Cooker.

I don't see a way to change the title of the bug, so I'm going to re-open it anyway.

let me assure you, it works. if it isn't working for you, it's either a packaging issue, something in the Qt version you're using (since that's where this magic happens) or PEBCAK.

Actually, that is not the case as I discovered (and found a solution today). Someone on #qt told me it was a style issue. In sysetmsettings, I converted the style from "Cleanlooks" to "Plastique", and then the button order was KDE-style. After I converted it back to Cleanlooks, it was back to a GNOME-style button order. So I'm setting it to Plastique for now.

Just FYI.
