As I said, I accept the current meaning of Apply, but I think it would be 
better and more consistent (KDE wise, not with other GUIs) to have Preview 
instead of Apply. I don't want to fight for this at all, but sometimes I got 
confused with the current Apply behavior. It's not KDE's fault, but the ones 
who first introduced this in the GUIs. KDE may show some innovation in this 
case.
