Why shouldn't instant apply work in config dialogs? There are many config 
dialogs which would greatly benefit from instant apply. For example setting 
fonts in KMail is very annoying, because you always have to click apply 
before you can see the effect. My feeling is that there aren't that much 
cases, where instant apply wouldn't work. At least when I click around 
through some config dialogs here, I don't see one. The only cases I can think 
of are the ones where it takes too long to actually apply the change, so that 
the "instant" part is lost. But that definitely is the exception and not the 
rule.
