At first I read this wrong and thought that you DID want it to be per 
directory, so I was composing an email to object to this. :) Then I 
carefully reread your email and noticed the errors of my ways.

So instead I thought I would just comment that I believe this is the 
RIGHT way to do that - being on a per-window setting, not some sticky 
per-directory basis.
