Sure, I will first answer here. Then I will put the relevant items in
the wiki (I have to update it to get help from Miguel and Julien).

No, that is against the GNOME HIG policy; all settings should be
instant-apply when possible. When it is not possible, an Apply button
should be placed in the frame containing the settings for which
instant-apply is not feasible.

or the NAT page would go in Network settings, agreed!

ok for this.

ok for this too.

yes

excellent idea!

I need to check this, it doesn't happen here. I will try to reproduce it
and fix it.

Yes, actually, the GUI is now more a proof of concept. I have spent most
of my time on OPAL. It is not my code, so I'm coding slower on OPAL than
on GM. I think I will code again on GM itself pretty soon. I will also
try to reorganize the "GM helpers team" to motivate me :)

Thanks for your tests and "encouragements"!
