Comment 157 for bug 733349

When I started using GNU/Linux, there was an attitude of "If you don't like the way a tool behaves, just customize it via it's settings dialogue".
Today the most fameous distribution does not even want to simply add an ordinary checkbox for an existing patch in ccsm/gconf/dconf/whateverconf?

Besides this, the default way the launcher behaves, should be the way the user expects. I actually don't know how the launchers of Win7, MacOSX and KDE behave. But software should not break usability rules an user learned for years, if there is no very good reason.
