Okay, to counter some of the criticism: the rule against buttons
changing their role seems to play less of a role, today, see for
instance Rhythmbox's current Play/Pause button.

Play/pause on same button have an history: a stereo I got on late '80s
had such "setup" so it is quite easy to understand on a music player,
but other function may not be well together. To some extend, play and
pause are in the same game but apply and revert are completely
opposite and can confuse people to bound them together.

Of the other ideas, the one I think would probably work best, is the
one by Christoph (Help | Close, Reset, [Standard]) -- but I think it
could alienate Windows users who are not used to the concept of
applications automatically applying different settings as you enter
them.

It would alienate KDE users too... in fact, I do not like when
settings apply without my explicit consent ;)
Cheers
Ricardo
