The problem is actually that gksu does not pass on the exit states.
Synaptic is giving useful exit information.

@Matthew:
Close is used in instant apply dialogs since you don't need to
confirm/mark changes before. So it would be quite confusing to the user.
@Colpompidou:
Revert resets the state of the system as when the application was
started. So we would have to remove applications that have been
Since nobody seems to be thinking about turning gnome-app-install into a
full blown application and not only a preferences dialog of the
desktop, I close this bug.
I don't think that it is bad if users hit the apply/ok button
additionally. I have often seen this behavior of users in other
I'd say you don't need Revert/Cancel at all. Simply have Apply and
Close.

I became aware of this usability problem when I asked my sister to install an
application : she was wondering whether she had to click on Apply or OK.
I suggest Apply / Revert / Finish on the right and Help on the left.

Well, Apply / Revert / Close may be better, where Apply and
Revert do not close the window.

Oh, wow, that HIG page is pretty bong. Making complete programs behave
like dialogs? What did they think they were doing?
OK, I guess this problem needs to be fixed in the HIGs. :-)

I already wrote an email to the GNOME usability list about finish/close.
The decision to make gnome-app-install a dialog was made by the
developers and not by the authors of the HIG.
But I think that is ok to use the dialog style. Since all capplets are
dialogs. Furthermore I would regard it as

The problem of the duplication of apply and ok is perhaps the missing
feedback from the application. The user feels unsure if his or her
changes have been applied correctly. If you click on apply at first, you
get the chance to control the changes easily.
