Is there a specification of what the proper use of those metaphors and
the correct dialog layout for a gnome app?

I mean, I think I read somewhere that apps should not even have apply,
OK and cancel buttons but rather the changes should be applied right
away and only a close button should be there. But I'm not even sure
that's the case.

What's the proper use of cancel, apply and accept? what are they
supposed to mean? what are they supposed to do?
