You just spotted a big inconsistency here: We want instant apply for
settings dialogs, yet we have classic "Save changes" in Activity
configuration. This does not really make sense.
However we should not have private yes/no apply instantly but none of the
other changes. 
So I hereby strongly suggest to have all changes to activity settings
apply instantly and only have a "close" button on the dialog.
Comments? Would we run into some trouble with that?

Cheers,
Thomas
