"Save?" dialogs should be more consistent across apps

Hi all, I have noticed that different Gnome apps have quite different dialog windows for prompting the user to save the current document before closing the window. For example: == Abiword== Save the changes to document Untitled1 before closing? Your changes will be lost if you don't save them. [Close _Without Saving] [_Cancel] [_Save] == Gedit == Save changes to document "Unsaved Document 1" before closing? If you don't save, changes from the last 11 minutes will be permanently lost. [Close _without Saving] [_Cancel] [Save _As] == gThumb == The current image has been modified, do you want to save it? [ ] _Do not display this message again [Do _Not Save] [Save _As] (Notice also capitalization differences.) I think the accels, buttons present and wording of the question should be more standard as much as possible, and guidance guidance should be included in the HIG. Philip
