Hello,

I updated yesterday kde with CVS and noticed old flaws in
message box when closing Konq with multiple tabs opened still exist:

1.
When tabbing through dialog also text is getting focus. This is
nonsense.

2.
No button has no icon associated. And this is KDE-wide situation.
Really, really bad. I could be red X like for Cancel.

3.
Order of tabbing: No button, text, Don't show checkbox, Yes button.
It should be made: No button, Yes button, Don't show checkbox.

In this way it will be easier for people who want to keep this dialog
but are closing multiple tabs sometimes: Alt-F4 -> Tab -> Space, instead
of Alt-F4 -> Tabx3 -> Space (currently) or Alt-F4 -> Tabx2 -> Space
after dropping text focusing.
Yes, I know I can use Left arrow but Tab is more common choice when
changing focus. Also when pressing Right arrow focus is completely lost.
IMO it should or wrap around and go to Yes button or at least stay at
the No button.

1 & 3 are ui.rc problems but I couldn't find... Hmm, looks rather like
a problem with kmessagebox.h and KMessageBox class and not enough
possibilities like order of tabbing and exclusing some things from
getting focus.
