Bug Description

Binary package hint: vim

Description of the problem:
Typically when showing buttons in GNOME, the positive action is on the right hand side and the negative one on the left (like the accelerator and break in a car I guess) with a cancel button inbetween. Despite the vim-gnome package being installed, gvim doesn't follow this convention.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run gvim .
2. Type ia<escape>
3. Click on the X at the top right hand corner of the "[No Name] + - GVIM" window.

Expected result:
Dialog to appear with buttons at the bottom (in this order from left to right) saying the following:
Save changes to "Untitled"?
[Close without Saving] [Cancel] [Save]

Actual results:
Dialog appears with buttons at the bottom (in this order from left to right) saying the following:
Save changes to "Untitled"?
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]

How reproducible is this problem:
It is reproducible every time.

I doubt upstream will ever change this, and it's unlikely to get changed in Ubuntu .
