Missing confirmation dialog to avoid the loss configurations

Bug Description

The possibility to easily backup the xfce panelconfigurations and easily switch between configurations is great!

But choosing "Apply configuration" I would expect a confirmation dialog remembering to make a backup of the current configuration.

Better: offer to create such backup in the confirmation dialog

The icon on the "apply"-button is very similar to many "configure" or "property"-icons in other applications. Finding the Xfce Panel Switch between other xfce configuration tools without knowing them may lead to the mistake that I can configure anything instead of apply (what's happend to me...).

(I had help to restore my custom configurations from backup files. Now the first Thing I will do is to save my configurations with Xfce Panel Switch ;-)

Add a confirmation dialog before applying a configuration

Hi!

I resolved this issue by adding a confirmation dialog before applying a configuration. I also added a checkbox to make a backup of current configuration.

This is my first contribution and my first time I use PyGObject, so if there are any errors I will try to fix them!
