Comment:

 Just so you know what I intend to do with this issue, I want to combine
 the horizontal button list with the vertical one which solves the issue of
 inheritance and gives us a more flexible widget. I also plan a grid
 layout.

 e.g.

  <buttonlist name="commonelements">
       <margin>10</margin>
 </buttonlist>


 <buttonlist name="ok_cancel_buttons" from="commonelements">
   <area>50,500,500,100</area>
   <items>2</items>
   <orientation>horizontal</orientation>
 </buttonlist>

 This would give us huge flexibility when theming. The buttonlist widget
 could then be used to replace the listarea widget, the main menus, the
 popup menus, the mythvideo/mythgallery gallery widget and with some
 imagination and transition effect it would permit apple style albumart
 browsing.
