"Ok" is equivalent to "save" if "auto save setup" is set. If "auto save
setup" is unset "ok" and "save" do differ in their behaviour.  This
actually *is* consistent. As I hardly change options I had sort of
forgotten about the auto save behaviour and I'm afraid I might have
confused you because of that :) .

Actually I think we miss a "save" button in the confirmation
dialog :-) . I assume the global "save setup" saves the settings for all
these sections. I don't think we should drop the "fine grained" save
buttons in the other dialogs.
