Last night I figured I would do something useful and go through the Suse 10.0 rc1 installation. It is a very pretty and straightforward installation process provided you have the CD media to install packages. One button label, which was EVERYWHERE, bothered me a bit:

The pinnacle of usability
Just saw a Yes/No dialog (in KDE, I specify, to avoid confusion) with tooltips installed on the Yes and No pushbuttons. The tooltips read "Yes" and "No" respectively. I'm flabbergasted!
