Bug Description

The Domain Mismatch dialog, that appears when you try to connect to a domain
which isn't using it's own SSL certificate, is not GNOME HIG compliant.

To reproduce, open the following URL:
https://launchpad.ubuntu.com

Attached is a screenshot of the dialog in question.

The correct ordering would possibly be:
[Help] [Cancel] [OK]

https://launchpad.ubuntu.com: https://launchpad.ubuntu.com

To make this dialog GNOME HIG compliant, the button labels would also have to be changed, and the explanatory text re-worded.

Relevant part of the HIG:

According to the HIG, you should use an affirmative action instead of 'OK' as the button label:
