Why does the 'Pick a font' window not have an third 'apply' button,
so it can stay there while we are selecting fonts so we don't have to
dig it back out of the menus if we aren't happy with a font?

Starting from "emacs -Q", how do you get this "Pick a Font" window?

This is
M-: (x-select-font)
which turns out to call xg_get_font, which (basically) just calls
gtk_font_chooser_dialog_new. There doesn't seem to be any way to have
more buttons in that widget than there already is:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFontChooserDialog.html
We could change the meaning of "select" to "select but don't close the
window", but then you'd have to use "cancel" to choose the final font,
which would be even more awkward.
So I don't think there's any reasonable way to fix this, and I'm closing
this bug report. If somebody comes up with a way to do this, please
reopen.
