We would only need a better wording. The term "session" should not be used since it is too technical. Using default seems to be to generic. I am not sure about the future of the test button. Currently we launch a second x server with the new config file. But many drivers and cards do not support this correctly and things tend to break. If we can apply changes instantly a confirmation dialog with "keep" and "revert" button would appear after hitting one of the apply buttons. So the button order for the main window would be the following one: [Apply Permanently] [Cancel] [Apply Temporarily] But we would still need at least tooltips: "Restore the chosen configuration after starting the computer" and "Revert configuration after shutting down the computer"?
