The apply buttons aren't there due to having undo or not. They are used
for three different reasons:

1. in places where instant apply would be too slow (if selecting a
radiobutton would trigger something that takes a lot of calculations for
example)

2. where you would get an inconsistent state with instant apply, like if
you need to select a whole group of choices together

3. where it's really hard to come up with a UI that is obivous how use
with instant apply

It's basically only number 3 that we can do something about.
