That's a possibility, but I hope that the majority of the extensions
aren't a "missing checkbox". I hope that the best extensions are ones
that are novel, and add "missing functionality", like Desktop
Scroller.

It's a great idea, and works perfectly as an extension. If we try it
out in usability tests, maybe we should consider adding it to the
Shell itself.
