Just to clarify, the reason the patch is needswork is that the only
things it does I think are bad ideas. It removes titles from alerts that
should have them, it adds redundant keys for buttons that are already
triggered by Escape and Enter.

There's a valid bug here, that the alerts and the HIG's guidelines for
alerts don't agree. I think this is a bug in the HIG, not the alerts,
and I'll work to adjust the HIG accordingly. A useful part of that
process will be demonstrating that the new proposed behavior works. For
example, "the Cancel buttons in Ubuntu's logout and shutdown alerts
respond only to the Escape key, not any other key, and no-one is
confused". If that was fixed in the HIG and in GTK's stock Cancel
button, then these alerts could return to using GTK's stock Cancel
button.

For the moment, though, I think removing "skip-pager-hint" and "skip-
taskbar-hint" from the alerts is the only code change we want here.
Thanks for pointing it out.
