Or, alternatively, the Apply button should not do anything if the user did not change any setting. The issue is that having it enabled leads to the following endless cycle: 1. Open the Screen resolution config applet from System/Preferences 2. Change the settings of some monitor 3. Click apply 4. Screens are configured correctly 5. Click "maintain configuration" in the countdown dialog that pops up 6. The config applet is still displayed, with the Apply button enabled 7. Not sure what I should do, so click apply -> GOTO 5 This actually happened to my girlfriend. She was able to setup her external monitor all right but she said the countdown dialog would pop up over and over, and that was because she clicked apply over and over...
