in this case there's probably not much optical difference. However it makes
sure that KDevelop fits properly into the DE of the user (think order of
ok/cancel button). It allows to embed some help info in the top of the dialog
without extra code from us. The layout/margins comply with KDE HIG without us
doing anything for it. The actual content of the dialog is not bound to a
dialog-class (as it would be plain QWidget based), making it easier to re-use
it in the future.

About moving the buttons: Thats a no-go, unless you make it something else than
a dialog. The user is used to the standard dialog layout and users would be
confused or even "scared" when this dialog is totally different. Besides the
"users focus is on the lineedit" argument is pretty weak IMHO. Sure the focus
is there, but if you use the quickopen dialog you don't need the ok button at
all, your typing your part of the file/class and then you hit enter (or esc if
you want to quit). And if we assume mouse users, then they have probably
clicked somewhere in the list to select a file, so their focus is in the middle
of the dialog.
