If MDK ever gets a regular ask-for-a-feature feature, I'm going to ask
for a way to set the default print commands of all environments from the
control center. I'm a big fan of xpp and CUPS -- I print to xpp as if it
were lpr, and it pops up a dialogue showing what printers are available
on this LAN and some options like number of copies.
