Comment 28 for bug 436975

I second post #27 by 100%. Things behaving different from expectations of the user do not contribute to a good and intuitive overall experience. I also think, that configuration should be possible for normal users. Yes, I can install apatch and compile it myself and yes I can also use workarounds, but this is not my idea of 'configuring' a system.

In my opinion the desktop animation configuration for compiz is the right way: For not so interested users there are 3 levels (off, medium, full). That's all - it will accomodate most of the normal users. If not, you can easily install a configuration tool and you configure virtually anything in desktop animation. One can easily imagine a comparable procedure for other aspects in daily desktop life.

And a word or two regarding fixed standard configurations: this is typically NOT what users of Ubuntu or other Linux distributions want. I want a working system out of the box (well done now in Ubuntu) and I want to configure it to do what I want in the way I decide (still good with Ubuntu I think, but improvement is possible).
