I never hang a camera around my neck by a strap so I'd never notice this. The DS with a wrist strap seems nicely balanced even with a relatively large/heavy lens or a Sunpak 383 flash unit fitted.
Ooh, a wrist-strap. Got a picture or a link? I haven't seen one for the *ist-DS before. That might be nice.
I use what is sold in the USA as a Hakuba Grip-LH. It is very secure and nicely made, makes holding the DS for extended periods in my hand a pleasure. B&H sells them for about $19.
I don't have a picture of it fitted to the DS, but here's a picture of the same unit fitted to the Canon 10D + 50mm f/1.4 lens:

It looks much the same on the DS, but the DS is smaller and tidier. ;-)
