Concerning section "Instant Apply", I'm not sure whether I understand it 
correctly. The section talks about that there is no apply button and that 
changes are applied instantly. I understand this as "I click that checkbox and 
instantly the settings are saved and application adjusts itself". But the 
further text is about "don't restart app to apply settings". This makes me 
wonder if you just care about the fact that you should not have to restart the 
application, but when you click "OK" the settings are applied. So that it is 
not instant in the sense as only the checkbox was clicked.

If you mean the first one, apply instantly on checkbox clicked, I doubt this 
is technically feasible at least for all applications having the configuration 
interface in a different application (KCMShell). If you mean the second one I 
think all is fine, all KDE application should handle that with a few technical 
exceptions.

Cheers
