The standard way is to show the main actions first. "Back to desktop" is a 
sort of "Cancel" button, which we usually find at the bottom of the dialogs.

Well, having a default button only makes sense for users who use the keyboard 
shortcuts... and clicking on "Escape" is the preferred shortcut for that. As 
it is already a confirmation dialog, we should have another default button 
(which is the one you choose in the configuration dialog), as nobody wants to 
struggle too much before logging out :-)

There was the same problem when choosing the default button in the "Do you 
really want to delete that file?" dialog.
