I would argue that Cancel and OK buttons in configuration dialogues
are standard and widespread, and their use well-known. Why did you
think they were there if not to cancel your changes, or confirm and
save your changes? How did you close the dialogue?

There are many, many things which the manual does not mention. It is
intended to be that way. It aims to be a quick-start guide.

We have an FAQ which is a wiki. You are welcome to create an account
