Ahh, I see. But they could be solved easily. Opening the option dialog creates a copy of the settings object (with sub-objects). From now on the dialog works on this copy. If you switch to another option pane in the dialog, commit the settings from the previously opened pane to the settings's copy. When pressing the OK button, the setting's copy is committed to the original settings. If the dialog is closed otherwise, e.g. with the cancel button, the garbage collector will eat the setting's copy. We use this in our settings dialogs and this works terrible smooth (<advertising>but depends on our really smart and lightweight persistence-framework</advertising>).
