David,

Well, reading through the source today, I found a couple settings that
few know about--and I might add more similar settings:

auto_show_lines == show a newly loaded object with lines representation?
auto_show_spheres == show a newly loaded object with spheres representation?
auto_show_nonbonded == show newly loaded non-bonded?

If these are considered useful, I can add others like:

auto_show_cartoon(s)

# example
set auto_show_spheres
fetch 1cll

This offers some more flexibility for the user to choose lines or
other default representation.

Cheers,
