Re: [libreoffice-design] LibreOffice dialog windows should conform with Linux's Standard "Command Button Layout"

We shouldn't forget that LibreOffice is a cross-platform program and that we may also want to 
consider that people will expect similar behavior from the program no matter where they're running 
it. On the other hand, the order of the buttons really doesn't seem like it would be hard to 
implement. Maybe obey system defaults and have an option to rearrange?
