Hello Sebastian, I like your newest version of the layout very much, great job! :) However, I have one question about the dialog: why isn't it instant-apply like the most GNOME dialogs? I guess this has technical reasons, but it would be great if the dialog could be made instant-apply to better fit into gnome (with guards like timeouts after resolution changes, naturally).
