Indeed, there is no need to restart trapd.  When you close xnmtrap with OK
or you have applied your changes an event is sent to trapd to cause him to
re-load the trapd.conf file.

You can do this yourself by the way with the event command:
     event -e FMTCHG
This sends the very same event to trapd.

No, the changes should go into effect immediately once you "ok" everything.
