Hmm, strange - I'll do some poking around.

Sure - but if an install provides sensible defaults (whether inherited
from the desktop environment or not) then it doesn't hurt to allow the
user to override them to tailor the app for specific needs, surely?
configurability is the Unix way and one of its great strenghs, of course
- the lack of user control is what puts so many people off Windows :-)

Just a thought anyhow!
