Bug Description

When you enable opening of folders in a terminal or opening a folder as root in the Nautilus Settings pane, extra packages need to be installed. After ticking the relevant check boxes, you must click the "Apply" button before changes are applied.

However, if a user ticks the check boxes but forgets to click or does not notice the "Apply" button, when they move to another pane or exit the application, their changes are lost and they will wonder why the Nautilus context menu still doesn't contain the options they selected (open as root, open in terminal etc).

It would be better if the user is notified that their changes will not be applied unless they first click the "Apply" button whenever they try and leave the Nautilus settings pane after making changes.

I have attached a screenshot. Thanks :-)
