Comment(by cmbarton):

 In most cases, including in many or most GRASS cases, pressing "apply"
 allows the dialog to remain open non-modally to do something with the new
 settings of whatever apply works with.

 I did some spot checking.

 The following items changed in settings also show up in the current GRASS
 session when the "apply" button is pressed.
 -ask when removing map from layer tree
 -expand all (element list)
 -status bar mode (need to open a new display for this to register)

 The following items changed do not show up in the current GRASS session
 with "apply" and only show up when the "save" button is pressed.
 -command font (NB: only some fonts, maybe only 2, show up even with
 "save"; but font size always affected by "save")
 -display font
 -close dialog when command is successfully finished
