These are called "instant apply" windows. The GNOME HIG has a whole section on when and where they are recommended to be used: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-utility.html.en Of course, debating the HIG's finer points is good, but let's use the existing document as part of our discussion.
