The only problem with having that sort of thing be changed by a command line option is that you really have to know what you're doing (open a console and run the command with a --help) to get to these options. I guess I just don't agree with having a graphical program have settings that can only be modified non-graphically, especially since if you run the program from the control center the command line options can't be altered. -Elliott
