Hi George,

I think Undo would be nicer and more familiar to users than a
monolithic Revert. How about adding an Undo feature that undoes
settings one at a time? You could even make it remember the Undo chain
even when the dialog is closed, allowing users to undo fuckups at an
arbitrary later point in time. Also, you could make Ctrl+Z undo even
if there is no Undo button. Undo would really be a killer PonG
feature.
