I had the same problem a couple months ago, and that was the solution 
for me. I don't know how many tries it took, and how many of my wife's 
apps I had killed using the Activity Monitor before I actually looked 
at the dialog box and realized "Cancel" was the default. I'm still 
thinking I should send some feedback to Apple about this -because it 
couldn't possibly be all my fault :-)

The problem isn't that Cancel is the default, its that they put the 
Cancel button on the far right. With a two-button dialog, the Cancel 
button should always be the left one IMO. Had they kept it on the left 
where it is in every other dialog box, it would have been immediately 
obvious that a "different" button was the default.
