Bug Description

in system settings -> system services it's should be possible to enable/disable any service to be automatically started in any runlevel.
Therefor there is the option "Start during boot".

When I change this option on my instalaltion the "apply" button will not be clickable though - it remains greyed out. Thus it's not possible to actually change this setting.

guidance version is 0.6.5-0ubuntu1

The change in Services has imediate effect, therefore Apply button does not have any meaning (it will get removed in next version).

In my opinion "apply" should be used here instead of an immediate effect - that's the way KDE configuration used to work. The immediate effect can have a few unexpected bad consequences, when the user expects to be able to "test out" a few settings. But that's not the point of the bug report.

The "Start during boot" setting definitely has no effect on my setup. I can change it to be inactive, but as soon as I select another service and go back to the service where I changed this setting it's active again. If I apply should be used or not - here the setting should not be reset to it's original state, since I didn't close the window.

If I close the window in between the setting will not be saved as well. So overall I really can't change "Start during boot" with serviceconfig

I can't change "Start during boot". too. It isn't saved. And I think Christoph Wiesen is right an "Apply" button should be used.
