The apply settings button is a remnant from the old dialog. I does
what you thought it would do. I guess the original idea was to make it
possible to close the dialog without saving some goofy settings.
Currently the settings are "saved" when plot or apply settings is
clicked. But you're right. We probably can survive without the apply
settings button.
