exactly.

this is also one of the few points where I disagree with the interface hall
of shame. but in any case I think we all agree that it's a close race with
several good points for both versions.

maybe we should let the user decide? a simple "help menus right aligned"
checkbutton in the gnome-config would do it. that would leave the problem of
telling the user, but one should (imho) present him with a couple of
important configuration options at install-time anyway.
