Wow, I can't believe I actually agree with Ondra for once. On a GUI
issue no-less!
If the action is destructive and there is *no* way to undo it, make
no button the default button. If there is a way to undo it, it's
probably safe to make the delete operation the default button. (Like
deleting a mail in mail.app)
Then again, dialogs like the one eudora shows if a mailbox is
corrupted are always fun too. (It won't let you choose not to rebuild
a mailbox unless you choose don't rebuild 3 times). Speaking of that,
and as stated before, button names should always be verbs. Never
"Yes" or "No".

No, it should not. In such a disastrous case there should be no
default button at all perhaps, but definitely *NOT* Cancel.
