[Libreoffice-ux-advise] Exit Dialog: Button Order and Wording

Hi,

I want to suggest a change concerning the Exit Dialog when unsaved 
changes exist (I hope this is the right list).

Currently it says:
The document "..." has been modified.
Do you want to save your changes?
[Save] [Discard] [Cancel]

The first time I used OpenOffice.org in those times, the word 'Discard' 
confused me.


I like the way Gnome applications have this dialog:
Save changes to document "..." before closing?
If you don't save, changes from the last [2 seconds] will be permanently 
lost.
[Close without Saving] [Cancel] [Save/Save As]


Thunderbird has similiar buttons:
[Do not save]		[Cancel] [Save]
(First is left-aligned, last two are right-aligned.


What I would like to, is change the wording from "Discard" to "Close 
without Saving" or "Do not save" (should fit to the text before).
Also having the "Save" button on the right seems to me more sensible 
than on the left.

What do others think?

Samuel
