thunar conflict dialog windows are not aligned

When copying / moving multiple files with variable filename lengths, whenever a
duplicate conflict arises, the dialog popup window is resized to accommodate
the filename's length.

The problem is two folds: 
* The action button widget moves around (it is right-justified, thus sticks to
the right corner of the window)
* The window geometry changes if the filename's length is long and wouldn't fit
in the window
It is then very easy to miss the "skip" button and click the "replace all"
button instead, which leads to potential data loss!

A simple fix would be to make the action buttons centered. 

That way, even if the window gets resized, as long as it is centered by the
window manager (which I assume is the case in most cases), the mouse cursor
won't risk missing the appropriate action button by having to move around every
time.
