           Summary: System Settings should not prompt for apply/discard if
                    no settings are effectively changed.
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: Shirakawasuna at gmail.com


Version:           4.2.00 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

This behavior occurs on an archlinux system running KDE 4.2.

System Settings prompts for apply/discard when it should be unnecessary.  For
example, if you open System Settings > Appearance > Icons and select another
theme, then the one you were originally using, it will still prompt you to
save/discard/cancel.  This happens with every setting for which I do the same
general procedure: select a different option, then go back to the old one.  It
even happens if you open up the font config, select 'choose' to change the
font, and then confirm the exact same font you had before (merely hit 'ok').

Proposed solution: system settings 'remembers' what the original settings were
when the kcm module was loaded and only prompts if the settings are different
when exiting the module.
