The hidden pref that used to allow this was removed on 2009-01-24 svn commit 14128. Personally I would have been happy for it to stay, but I guess there is some logic in removing left over functionality that has no UI interface. Now it would be necessary either to add it back or use some kind of applescript. You could presumably also use the older version 1.3.19 still available for download on sourceforge.
Best, Greg. FWIW I've attached a patch that adds the pref back.
