I'm trying to add some stuff to the 3D viewer that were removed when 
version 5 came out.  One of these is an "Apply" button to the 3D viewer 
"3D Display Options" dialog box.  I also want to add a sub-menu to the 
Preferences menu that contains checkboxes for everything in the dialog.

My first problem is that although I've created the "Apply" button, I can't 
figure out how to get it to work correctly.  The best I've been able to 
come up with is that it first appears to do nothing, but then changes the 
behavior of "Cancel" to act just like the "OK" button.  If I just press 
"Cancel" without first pressing "Apply", the "Cancel" button works as it 
should.

The second problem is that I'm at a loss to figure out how to get the new 
checkboxes to change or affect anything.  I did manage to get the "Use 
Touchpad to Pan" checkbox to toggle realistic mode. But I can't get the 
realistic mode checkbox to do this.

Please take a look at https://github.com/DavidGriffith/kicad-source-mirror 
in the 3d-viewer-mods branch.
