This one could be argued the same way as what I brought up a few weeks
ago in regards to the Screen preferences. As I recall from that
discussion the general consensus was to keep the most common action
preselected, even if that was slightly "dangerous." For the Screen
preferences that means having the "Keep" button as the default. In
this case I think it makes even more sense because it takes some
effort to get to that dialog in ProcessController. In other words,
keep the current behavior and this ticket could be dropped.

I think this one is worth doing.
I would also suggest making the "snap-to-grid 64" option on by default
too. It is recommended in the Haiku Icon Guidelines to use the
snap-to-grid to keep the icons crisper, and I find myself using it 95%
of the time. Though maybe other icon artists have a different opinion.

I think this one is really about what you are used to. From my use of
Windows I would tend to look for "Properties", but that doesn't mean
that is the "right" way to do it. I suppose BeOS copied this from the
Mac, which as Axel says still uses "Get Info."
Also I don't necessarily agree with Humdinger that a "Get Info" panel
needs to be read-only. So given that I would vote for just keeping the
current behavior/name/shortcut.
