The funny thing is that i'm pretty sure the original draft HIG had try 
instead of "Apply but that seemed to miraculously change around the time 
frameless frames were added to the HIG without explination. Calum and greg 
would probably know better though. Anyway the important thing is that 
hitting cancel should undo all changes made in an explicit apply dialog, and 
in the end instant apply is better anyway most of the time.

Well thats not completely true. There will not be a specific widget or 
constructor fro gtkframe, but you can build hig boxes much easier now using 
the gtk2.4 GtkAlignment api enhancements and a vbox and hbox. owen has a 
good description of how to do this on gtk-devel somewhere.
