Strongly agreed. :)

Just for the record, on IRC we identified different features. Maybe we don't even need 
them all. 

Let's start just listing it:
 * Undo last change
	 * When possible apply the changes and ask the user if keeping it or not.
	   (just like X when changing resolution)
 * Restore to previous configuration (or to a specific date)
 * Restore to default settings (making a backup at the first run)

Ciao
