[haiku] Re: Screen preferences usability question: default button for keep settings dialog?

So I am thinking it might make sense to make Undo the default button.
I see why from a Haiku developer point of view, you might want to have "Keep" as default. They, when they are working at something needing screen setting changes, have to use it a lot while debugging.
But eventually, Haiku is aimed at the user. IMO the Screen preferences are used more or less once: right after installing Haiku. And that only when the native resolution isn't picked up automatically. Back when CRTs and memory limited gfx cards were commonplace, it may have been useful to have different resolutions/colour depths on every workspace and change those every so often. Now, with LCDs and notebooks all around... not so much.
So, in case a user does mess up in Screen preferences (and Haiku did mess up detecting his monitor's capabilities), the save thing would be to default to "Undo".
