Well, I can tell that KDialogBase (which most if not all std dialogs use)
supports on-the-fly reordering of the buttons. I added a mode for vertical
placement  (on the right edge) a few days ago. I have not tried to switch
between horizontal and vertical while a dialog has been visible but I think
that should works as well. At the moment the button layout is fixed and one 
can only select the vertical mode from code though :)
