Public bug reported:

Reading the current documentation there is no real guidance on how to
layout buttons in Dialogs.

The "design vision" section 4. [1] mentions "Positive actions always go
on the right, negative on the left", which suggests an horizontal
alignment for the buttons, but the building blocks section [2] doesn't
mention the topic and the uitk defaults to stacking things vertically,
including the API example [3], while the uitk-gallery example program
does show an horizontal layout by stacking its button in a row (if
that's recommended way, the API example should perhaps reflect that?)

Those lacks lead our applications to be inconsistant, e.g the delete
confirmations actions in gallery or camera have there delete/don't
button vertically stacked, is that the correct way?
