Can you add cancel button when it's possible?

[Brian J. Tarricone]

the settings dialogs use instant-apply, so a cancel setting isn't 
applicable.  it would be rather hard to implement, at any rate.  i see 
no reason to change the current behavior.  most interfaces are moving 
toward the instant-apply model, not away from it.  in fact, i recall 
that the gnome HIG says something to the effect that you should make all 
settings dialogs instant-apply, if possible.
