I guess we should follow the GNOME HIG’s recommendations for dialogs

Sounds perfectly reasonable, added that link now to the wiki page under
guidelines. I'd be very appreciate if someone would take a sample
dialog, e.g. the zoom dialog in cui/uiconfig/ui/zoomdialog.ui and apply
those rules to it. 
— except for the OK/Cancel button order, which should continue as
is today for Windows users—…
Yeah, button order should be a per-platform thing. I haven't gotten
around to implement that yet, but VclButtonBox in
vcl/source/window/layout.cxx should be tweaked to sort its children in
the platform-preferred ok/cancal/help order. Querying a Window with
GetType() and ordering by WINDOW_OKBUTTON, WINDOW_CANCELBUTTON,
WINDOW_HELPBUTTON etc. should get someone most of the way towards that.
