A related issue that I *did* find disturbing: on recent versions of Fedora Core, the default Dired ordering interleaved dot-files with ordinary files, because of some DWIMish behavior of the underlying `ls' implementation. I added "setenv LC_ALL C" to my .cshrc to work around this behavior, because the underlying `ls' doesn't expose any other knob to control this behavior. Bleah. > Maybe you never leave Emacs?

I don't know. I'm not a newbie, and I don't presume to know what would be easier for them. > And those of us (I know now) who can change it, can't we just do that? Of course, and that's precisely what I'll do if this default changes.
