See also bug #354689 for a similar issue:

Probably best to get Calum, our HCI gut involved here.
I've cc:'ed him on this email.

Interesting. I just did a similar change yesterday and checked it into Orca
CVS HEAD. See bug #354166:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354166

I was following the GNOME HIG as specified for Apply buttons at:

Thanks for doing this. I think the best way to handle this is to file

patches there. We are then aware of what you are doing, and can hopefully
avoid duplicated effort.
