Wow...  A kind of UI-Configuration Transaction Manager?  That is a COOL
idea.  I'm having a hard time visualizing how it would actually work
visually tho.  

I think, to the average user, some kind of undo facility for desktop
configuration would be more applicable.  They are already familar with
undo functionality, and that would actually be pretty simple to implement.
