Indeed. I confused two things though.
The kde-usability discussion is about KStandardShortcuts (Ctrl+W vs Ctrl+Q)
while Marcel's patch is only about buttons in messageboxes, like konqueror's
confirmation dialog mentionned in bug 80981. Thanks for your note, I see
that the standard-shortcut debate is more complex than I thought (and changing
the styleguide is not enough, we need to think about how to define the
right things in KStandardShortcut...). For now I'll commit Marcel's patch
for buttons (GuiItems), it makes sense to me.
