I think this depends on the GUI. On Windows, the cancel button is always
on the right [1], while on GNOME the cancel button is on the left [3].
But on KDE the cancel button is also on the right [2].  openSuse has an
article about the button order [4].

I personally prefer the Windows / KDE button logic (Well, see my
User-Agent ;-)
