I'm unsure, if there's always an "Apply" button (I'm thinking of the 
filter dialogs) where you could do this.

Nonetheless, if there *is* an corresponding apply button, we could do this.

If you think of the filter toolbar at the bottom, I would also 
deactivate the "Clear" button, if the string is already empty.

This leads to the next question: do we want to deactivate the "OK" 
button on the dialogs too, as this will also do an "Apply"?
