System-wide there are preferences panels, options panels, and dialog
boxes that do not have Cancel buttons. So many times I have
accidentally changed a preference and did not know how to set it back to
its original state. Naturally there would be a Cancel button to press
but GNOME removed them several versions ago. I assume clicking the
"close" box on the window does a "cancel" but some windows do not have
"x" boxes on them, either. Why have a useless "Apply" button but not
also have a useful "Cancel" button? Did a user interface study really
think that Cancel buttons are unnecessary?
