Can you add cancel button when it's possible?

This is exactly what I want to say. You have more perfect english than me ;-)

Strictly, this is not so important to me too. I think that there are a lot of 
features more important than this, but I considering it important in the 
sense that it's a little detail that can help many people. For example, 
migrated people from kde or windows (where the majorty of windows has ok and 
cancel button) (a part people with situation described previously) and by 
completeness of the xfce4 (with this xfce4 is better; like gimp with revert 
button is better than gimp without it). And it's optional: if you don't want, 
don't click on it ;-)

Wow!!. Incredible thought!. I lift my hat (!!!). I haven't hear this type of 
thought since more time ago. The ideas that "we should to better this because 
this could be better" don't abound in this world. The majorty are "we should 
do better this if there is a thing _that we are interested in it_"

Thank you very much Ondrej for this effective support (and Auke for your 
concrete example of gimp!).

And thank you to all of you, for hear my comments even if you don't like them. 
But I'm only a desktop user that try to make better the things. If I were a 
programmer, I implement some code. But I'm a user and I suggest you ideas.

If I do that it's because xfce matters to me and because you (all of you) hear 
me (thing that it's not usual).

Thanks.
