OK is bad. OK what? ;] Use verbs better, like Save or Delete (another
Macism? Maybe). That way users can ignore the text after some uses,
and those that never read text, will get exactly what they want,
without surprises (old example and jokes about negative and positive
question, keep file? delete file? yes/no vs keep|delete/cancel).

BTW, about the accelerators... I found a bug, a serious one. Who tied
Esc to Yes in the Log out dialog? I tried to test some dialogs, and I
killed my X session. Esc should be tied to No (Escape == do not do),
Enter to Yes (Enter == do). And maybe use different words, not Yes and
No. I will report the bug ASAP (Esc as Abandon ship? Argh!).

Things must be reasoned, otherwise they are just words, IMO.
