yes, for two buttons .. i'm just wondering if that translates to other dialogs 
which may have more or fewer buttons and which should be consistent with these 
dialogs.

i like the the idea of less buttons. 

however, if we do want to keep the "close" button and if we put buttons int he 
title bar, it could be drawn exactly as we do the "close" button on plasmoids.

basically, yes, but with a "pointer" pointing to the element in question. bad 
ascci art
