That's not what I meant. The discussion was about an "apply"-button on effect 
dialogs (at least this is what I thought). When you are applying an effect, 
you can choose to update the image after every parameter change (autoupdate) 
or only when you press the "apply" button in the dialog (manual update). 
Apparently the gnome HIG says that there shouldn't be an "apply" button, I'm 
making a case that there actually should be one (as Christof Ecker already 
mentioned).
Automatic redrawing should always take place when the "Ok" button on the 
dialog is pressed. Manual redrawing in this case makes no sense.
