I often hear people say this; you guys must be very lucky to always
work on the same computer.  I've got so many different accounts
that I put up a CVS repository just to manage dotfiles...  and
still, time and again, I work on a PC without my favourite WM,
without my favourite keyboard remappings, without any decent way
to get them.

And in the process of doing so, I've grown to hate bad defaults...
configurability is never an excuse for bad defaults.

Of course, you should have used a browser (like w3m) that lets you
edit the fields with a real editor...
