           Summary: Key edit/properties dialog should have a Cancel button
           Product: kgpg
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: bj altern org
        ReportedBy: kde-01 oliverklee de


Version:           1.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I propose two changed to the "Edit key"/"Key properties" dialog:

1. Remove the "X" Close button at the top right (depending on where the window \
manager placed the default close button). There already is a big close button. In \
addition, it's not quite clear what the X button does: a) act as a Cancel button
b) act as an OK button (like the Close button discussed below)

2. Change the big Close button to a Cancel/OK pair.
a) This makes clear when closing the dialog will keep the changes and when it will \
throw them away. b) This gives users an obvious way to undo any unwanted changes.
c) Gnome and MacOS don't have Cancel buttons, but instead apply the changes \
instantly. On the other side, KDE doesn't do this, but has Cancel buttons. (If I'm \
wrong about this, pleas correct me.) And KGPG is a KDE program.
