And it still *is* a setting. Obviously there's a bug if it doesn't work. > Gnome has an interesting way to approach this.

There are already a lot of settings you can't change in the "Options" dialog, and I agree that it might be preferable to remove even more from this dialog, but not from the configuration files itself. You can use a decent XML editor to change the files directly (or even a text editor could be used). That should be enough for experienced users, shouldn't it?
