Cancel is for modal dialogs.

Property dialogs in GNOME are encouraged to be modeless (a controversial 
HIG idea, but not that bad IMO). You're supposed to be able to switch 
between document and the line width window.

Instant apply with Revert/Undo button, maybe ? (I don't know if it's 
kosher HIG-wise, but it may be nice/useful)

As for switchable instant/explicit - no, please. It's not that easy, and 
that time could be better spent on more important things (like getting 
rid of the dreaded CSDI model ;-) ).
