@manny,

In everything you wrote, you didn't mention one single advantage of the
current behavior.

Please re-read this report. This is what it has so far:

- one developer not rejecting the report and forwarding it to designers
- Mark not remembering of the current behavior being requested
- me mentioning that one developer disagreed with the current behavior
- ZERO arguments in favor of the current behavior

Maybe one developer or designer will eventually step in this report and
give some good arguments in favor of the current behavior. If and when
this happens, your point might be valid. But proposing a customization
option BEFORE this happens, considering only the situation I summarized
above, is wrong in all possible levels and introduces more problems and
it solves.

Software development is not as easy as you seem to think. Adding
customization options tends to MULTIPLY code complexity and possible
points of failure, and also increases interface complexity for non-
geeks. It is a decision that should be taken carefully, and only when
there is a sufficiently balanced set of arguments for both sides of the
proposed customization.

So you want to propose adding an option for the current behavior? Fine.
But FIRST, give at least one argument in favor of it. Otherwise you
might be as well requesting an option for turning the launcher upside-
down.
