If this thread is a poll, IMVHO, default button in main window must be 
the preferences one as Joanie's saying.

Anyway, if the real problem is that a Orca user will be a little 
confused when preferences dialog shows up, a 'diplomatic' solution to 
all of us could be to add a label containig something like 'Welcome to 
Orca' (or something that tell the user that he is actually in 
main_window), and make this widget as the default focus widget.
This modification will avoid Orca users to show preferences dialog as 
the space key has been pressed, then a user could navigate into the main 
window and press whatever he want.

Regards!
