Many Psi dialogs deliberately avoid the use of Ok/Cancel wording, which I 
believe is one of the suggestions in the Mac HIG.  Other platforms are 
expecting Ok/Cancel though, so this is probably not something we want to do 
everywhere.  (Same goes for button ordering, Psi dialogs have a tendency to 
follow the Mac guideline there as well).
