You are talking about gnome, don't you? Other desktop environments have different layouts so there is no GNU/Linux "standard". As an example, KDE config dialogues have: [Help], "Predefined", [Undo], (space), "Accept", "Apply", "Cancel" (those between square brackets are not always present) Unless you build a specific UI for each DE available (gnome, kde, xfce, lxde, e17...), you will always annoy someone! ;) Please, remember that the Linux world do not end at Ubuntu's gnome version.
