OpenMoko uses GTK, which per default uses the Mac-style "OK on bottom
right" approach, which I find to be better argued for. So, incorrect.
Also not all phones have answer/call on left and reject/end-call on
right, though it is true that it seems to be the majority vote. I have
seen phones where it is reversed, but don't recall the models.
I have no strong opinions on the answer/call and reject/end-call
ordering, but would like it if the GTK practice was adhered to. This
_would_ logically place also answer/call on the right, of course...
Perhaps for the answer/call buttons at least the order should be
settable, default maybe the order most phones do it in. (And of course
it is in the end settable anyway, but from a GUI ;)
