That would be inconsistent with KDE,that uses apply and OK buttons, and cancel to
not apply and changes and exit. The Mandrake Control Center also works with OK
buttons.

Indeed, but they aren't instant apply dialogs either. At the moment the
way it's coded makes instant apply optional, but there seems to be
consensus here that instant apply is a good thing, and having used it I
agree, it makes everything feel a lot more responsive for some reason.
It also helps force us into good UI design (at least in some ways).
