It makes sense, but I disagree. Apply makes the changes to the object,
but leaves the dialogue open. OK changes the object and closes the
dialogue. If you do not make any further changes, leaving the OK button
enabled would imply there are changes to be applied when in fact there
are not.

The same applies to most other properties dialogues that do not have
apply buttons (only Views and Functions/Procedures do, as these are
objects that might be editted repeatedly whilst debugging) - the OK
button is only enabled if there are changes to apply.
