Well if you stick with the current explicit apply type dialog, it would be 
better to have [apply][cancel][ok] where selecting cancel undoes any changes 
may (this is how i recall the hig recommendation, the button should most 
definately not be close in this case and for some reason i feel that apply 
in this case ought to really be "try", but i need to consult with calum and 
greg on that).

In general I say instant apply is better pretty much always (in fact the 
only real problem with the current implementation is the lack of undo in our 
spec). 

That said this dialog seems to be overuse the computer jargon quite a bit 
and doesn't use HIG frame style etc. 

Also, would it make any sense to merge this capplet with the network proxy 
one? Could call it "Network" or something. Seems kind of odd to have a whole 
capplet dedicated to setting up a CD database. Of course in all honesty how 
many users are going to touch this thing anyway.
