Re: [Evolution-hackers] update on settings dialog

[Piers Cornwell <piers myrealbox com>]

The bit that says "Esc key should dismiss the dialog (same as Close)" is 
inconsistant with other apps and has been discussed several times on the 
usability list, for e.g.:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2002-January/msg00158.html

...and also in the WONTFIXed HIG bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109194

Thanks,
