As of yesterday i run KDE_3_1_BRANCH and was doing some reconfiguring.

I noticed that not all the configuration dialogs act the same in respect to OK 
APPLY buttons.

there are 2 cases
1) The almost good case
- - change something APPLY button gets enabled
- - Press APPLY it gets disabled and the config is saved and activated e.g. 
panel behavior changes.
- - Press OK when APPLY button is disabled the configuration is saved again and 
activated e.g. panel behavior changes. (NOT GOOD) why save it when it's 
already saved

2) Bad case
- - APPLY button is always enabled even after you click on it to apply your 
changes.
- - The user gets very confused when this happens and thinks he/she did 
something wrong.

I'm volunteering to look into these problems and solve them all so KDE 
configuration dialogs get a consistent look and feel.

If everybody agrees I'll go to work and send patches to the list for 
confirmation by the authors of those packages.
