Good point, especially when the user will never even be aware of the result of some settings (like of my gray-display problem). And, obviously, the user being in control is partly an illusion -- he can only get the results the program is in a situation to provide.

Obviously user cannot set everything, distro or upstream has to decide a defaults. Why is this one an exception? Yahoo does searching, Google does searching. Some people prefer one, some the other, many do not care. The setting can be altered anyway on the usual place (Edit, Preferences, quite discoverable).Canonical will supposedly get some money which means we will get some more/real features/fixes.
My thought about presenting an initial screen, telling the user she can select one, is still worth two cents. I'll file it as a bug, even if it ultimately gets a "WontFix." Working on the Mozilla programs, I see a lot of "WontFix."
I'm with you on that! I want the front edge, and not the older ones -- but LSB seems to want an old one that I wind up keeping just to satisfy that dependency.(I have a strong opinion on what version of GCC should be used. But other programmers do not, they often do not even know what version they are using. So I do not push anyone.)
