this is a really bad clutter ... I'd hate eitehr having to press the
button all the time .. or getting an annoying dialog everytime I change
page .... I wanna do the changes in teh whole dialog and then apply

I don't see the point of doing apply only on one page in most occasions

if the apply is this page only, ... leave it on the notebook .... but
DON'T add dialogs such as these ... it make the UI annoying
