This thread has appeared before, and it seems that the general consensus
is that, technically, if you're looking right at the button, it's incorrect
to make the button text (or image) move a pixel or two down and right.
Again, technically, it should just "get a little smaller", because it's
moving away from you.  This was the gist (I believe) of the explanation
Peter gave a while back, and it's in the archives.  Then again, technically,
space ships wouldn't make any sound at all when firing at each other in
space, but how entertaining would that be? ;>
