Off-topic, but Save|Use|Done remind me of AmigaOS. There Use would
mean that the settings should be applied for this session only while
Save would save them permanently. VLC has the same logic, and so do a
couple of other BeOS programs (can't remember which, though). (Hmm,
doesn't DualHeadSetup have those?)

Although it's not bad logic, I don't think it fits BeOS well. So yes, I
agree that they should be changed to Revert|[Defaults]|[Apply] whenever
possible.
