The "buttons" attribute of a prefwindow do not work, the buttons do not appear.
Could be ok for the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons since prefs are updated immediately on Mac, but what about the other buttons ?

I've browsed the bug reports about this problem, and found mostly irrelevant answers such as "use the dlgbuttons attribute"...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup a prefwindow element with a buttons attribute
2. open the prefwindow
3.

Actual Results:  
buttons are displayed

Expected Results:  
buttons aren t displayed

buttons should be displayed

Because of this bug, a prefwindow dialog must not be opened with a window.openDialog command, because on Mac OSX such dialog windows are not provided with the top window banner buttons allowing to close or minimize a window.
Thus, it couldn't be closed at all.
And openDialog is very convenient to pass parameters to the prefwindow...

This is certainly a dupe of bug 341884, though from comments it looks like that bug may need to be reopened.
