Qt itself places the buttons depending on their role and the underlying window manager. The roles of the buttons were all set to "AcceptRole". I have pushed the patch
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8a43428e13b2
with more appropriate button roles. On my Ubuntu, the "Cancel" button now is on the left side which is the common position of this button type on my system.

Xubuntu 14.04 LTS, so that would be xfce desktop. Attatched a screenshot.

Can you attach a screenshot? Which window manager are you using? In mine the Cancel button is last, on the right hand side of the other two buttons.

A tiny GUI consistency issue: when you press Save File and Run. Octave offers to Change Directory or Add to Path or Cancel, the Cancel is on the left-hand side (ie first in the list). Most other dialogs have Cancel as the last option (left side or bottom). FYI Matlab uses "Change Folder", "Add to Path", "Cancel".
