For the messageboxes I either have "OK", "Yes"/"No", 
"Yes"/"No"/Cancel" and maybe a "OK"/"Cancel".

At the moment they are centered in the middle of the dialog with
stretch in between them. 

Each button terminates the dialog. It would be nice if the button wich
was pressed could be returned in some way (in addition to the accept /
reject).
