I ran "yast disk" in the installed system to change a volume label. After pressing Apply I got this popup:
 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 ?                                                              ?
 ? Changes:                                                     ?
 ? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?
 ? ? *  Set volume label of /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 to alabel       ? ?
 ? ?                                                          ? ?
 ? ?                                                          ? ?
 ? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?
 ?                                                              ?
 ?         Do you really want to execute these changes?         ?
 ?                                                              ?
 ? [Cancel]                                     [Apply][Finish] ?
 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The confusing thing are the buttons. I would expect Yes/No, OK/Cancel, or Apply/Cancel. Three are too many. There is no explanation what Finish is (is it more like Apply or like Cancel?)

Apply/Finish has the same meaning as in (mostly) every Windows-Dialog:

Apply: perform the displayed changes and keep module running
Finish: perform the displayed changes and exit module.

So I assume everyone who has used a Windows-Dialog knows the difference
between Apply and Finish.
I do not think Removing either Apply or Finish would do customers any good.
Both use cases are valid: some users do their changes step after step using 
apply others want to do just a single task and be done with pertitioner 
module.
