Why ? Does QT says "Ok" instead of "OK" ? Then it's only a consistency
problem, not a "compatibility" one.

Oh, in fact I had a look : QT isn't consistent at all about this :

Sometimes all caps :
dialogs/qfiledialog.cpp:    okB = new QPushButton( tr("OK"), this, "OK" );

Sometimes with first letter uppercase :
dialogs/qprintdialog.cpp:    ok->setText( "Ok" );

Sometimes all lowercase :
dialogs/qprintdialog.cpp:    QPushButton * ok = new QPushButton( this, "ok" );

Arnt ?
