Well, it works. It's just not obvious that it works. I meant this as a
usability bug, and using 1.51 in Jaunty, I still feel that it's a bit
counter intuitive. Nothing tells me that the changes has been saved, so
it still comes natural that I must close the window, then reopen it in
order to open the webui. As I said before, I don't think this is a very
important issue, because misconceptions won't cause any problems.
However, I do think that preferences should require you to press a
button after making changes; the confirm-button is normally handled well
by the close-button -- yes, I typed it, and now I'm closing the window,
meaning that what's entered is correct. In this case, you want the
window to stay open, so using the close-button as a
"confirmation"-button doesn't work well.

I don't know I'm getting my point across, but I do think it would be
better to have a 1) change, 2) confirm and store the change, and 3)
experience the consequences of the change.

This was just my thoughts as a first time user though, and I overcome it
quickly, but I think it's important to handle the first impressions too.

However, I actually feel that it would be better to simply move the
"Open webui"-button to another window would be a better choice.
