Well, set and exposed don't mean the same, `set by' would suggest, that
*we* don't allow/want it to be in SawfishConfig, whilst `exposed in'
makes clear that's currently technically not possible, furthermore I
don't expect `expose' to be a techie-word, therefore I'm sure everyone
understood it.

I just wanted to say, that it's not just sawfish causing the issue.
Say, we said we fixed the issue, but it happened again, the user now
knows, that it's not sawfishs fault. But perhaps that `of course' is a
bit too much, isn't it?
