And all those innocent pixels sacrificed for "Apply" buttons - Gnome got this right, just change the value and boom, it's changed. Ugh, no. That's one of the things I hate about GNOME (and now, alas, XFCE.) I like to sanity-check my changes before applying them. In some cases, if changes are auto-applied it can make the dialog very difficult to read to un-apply them.

Dialogs where it would be difficult to undo bad changes (for example, changing the screen resolution) have an Apply button.
