IMHO this is not a key issue it would become one of the much lower
compliancy levels. An average user will use a lot of programs not very
often and he will use a few programs very often. Only for the latter
programs such a configurability would be nice (for the expert user).

The average user will get 'scared' from such big re-configuration
menus/dialogs.
