I totally agree with the presence of an undo button.

Sorry but I find the idea of having an option to decide if a dialog has
a button or not a bit on crack :)

I also do not agree that "quit" is not essential: in fact quitting is an
action which every user needs to do at some point and doing it at the
end of a game is the more natural thing. Being forced to start a new
game just to be able to quit is silly.

At this point I'd find less essential the "New Game" button, since a
user can restart aisleriot from the menu...

Anyway I think that having 3 buttons is not that cluttered, many other
dialogs in gnome have 3 buttons.
