Hmm, OK I'll look at how I can best implement that with the FLTK
prototype.

The KDE and FLTK HIGs put the cancel button on the right while Apple's
HUG puts it on the left.  Microsoft's guidelines are all over the

the dialog as well as on the bottom - the cancel button is either the
rightmost or second from the bottom.

FWIW, the FLTK HIG references many of the major HIGs:
