You mean like a lock button, that, when clicked, would ask for the administrator password in order to make any change ? (Like in some Gnome applications).

I love for example the option "Back to default" on KDE, the problem is that the option don't work as I would expect it to do. Instead of making it really default (overwriting the file with the original one), it just saves the last change done by the user and replace the new changes by the older changes.

And option like Gnome-Shell when an error occurs could be a nice idea too, like for example, if anything wrong happens, then it would be asked the user if he/she wanted to go back to the default settings for example.

Most people like to change things quickly and simply. for example (and I noticed that on older people from my family), when they use Ubuntu or Windows and I tell them that they can change anything that they don't like, they start clicking on what's visible like The Clock, the Unity (Windows) icons etc.. but not on the bar itself, because what they want to change is what is visible.

Trisquel with Gnome-Classic is very customizable, not as much as Gnome2 or Mate but still, and even knowing that I had a hard time figuring out that, to change any option on the Panel, I had to do ALT+Right Click.

But of course those little problems could be changed on the upstream project, and if they don't want to, it can be changed directly on the version that we use (like Ubuntu and Trisquel), but that would mean a lot of patches to do after any update, and this is why forks are becoming natural in the Gnu/Linux World....
