Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

A warning window "A folder named 'bla bla' already exist. Do you want to replace it" has preselected "Replace" action - this prechoice can destroy user data if you automatically press enter.

For this action "Skip" _should_ be default choice.

According to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines that's the right way to put the buttons in the dialog: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-alert.html

@Pedro Villavicencio
Not really. According to this Guidelines: "Place the affirmative button
in the lower right corner of the alert."

so my suggestion about choosing other button is wrong and the problem
should be fixed in other way:

"Give all alerts an affirmative button that dismisses the alert and
performs the action suggested in the primary text".

it's mean the suggestion in primary text should be like "A folder named
'bla bla' already exist. Do you want to skip this action?"
