Re: [orca-list] [Fwd: Default button of Orca]

Hi
Quite honestly, I don't see the reason to have a default button here. 
There are only three controls in this window, and they are all buttons. 
A default button is typically applied in a situation where there are 
multiple control types relating to a specific task. Personally, I don't 
use the orca main window and it's the first thing I turn off, but if 
having the default button be preferences is too confusing for some 
(though I don't see why it would be), why not just get rid of the 
default altogether and require the user to specifically activate the 
button they want?
