I don't believe that hbonds are off by default ... I certainly do not
think that they should be off by default).

(Note that the display of hbonds is distinct from the calculation of hbonds)

Seems like a bug. Default radius for hbonds should be the same as the
default radius for wireframe.

No comment at this time.
