slow keys dialog box is misleading

[appi2012]

gnome-settings-daemon's slow keys activation dialog shows up, explaining what slow keys is, and asking if I want to activate it. Although is is a yes or no question, there are 4 buttons: "Don't Activate" "Activate" "Cancel" and "OK." Not only are the buttons really confusing, the question itself is asked at the wrong time. The dialog shows up after slow keys has been enabled, thus it is really asking if I want to keep it on.
This is a horrible design flaw that should be fixed as soon as possible.

I have attached a screenshot of the dialog.

It seems to be because the dialogue was designed upstream to be displayed in a notification bubble which allows interaction. [notification-daemon].

But since Ubuntu uses notify-osd , the dialogue needs to be made notify-osd friendly.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

In this report you said that there are four buttons and there should be two which makes a change in the interface/removal of buttons so not a papercut

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

om26er, I disagree with marking this invalid. This is easily resolved by having our downstream gnome-settings-daemon only create a sticky keys dialogue, instead of trying to generate a libnotify popup. (It needs to check which actions are available). It's a really simple thing with a big usability impact, and it looks ugly. It has been so for two releases.

Having said that, it is a duplicate, and there are already two patches to choose from, so my point is moot ;)
