Right. That's how it's supposed to work AFAIK. That way you can make some
settings for the current session but not have to save them for future
sessions.
I was wondering about that. which leads to the question of why call it
"Apply" and not "Ok"? (I think Apply is kinda weird in most software,
nothing grass specific)

The second, somewhat related use of "apply" is so that you can change some
parameters from a dialog and not have the dialog close (which is often the
default behavior when the "OK" or similar button is pressed).
