Really? Does "Close" save my changes or not? Where does "Revert" go back 
to? Does "Save" also close the dialog, and if so, then why is there a 
"Close"? If not, then does "Revert" go back to the settings when I 
opened the dialog, or the settings that I last saved? Does "Revert" also 
close the dialog? etc...
