Amen :-)
Besides, do you really tweak the preferences back and forth all day? I
usually configure a thing in a certain, sane way, and it then stays that
way for ages. Meaning there really is no need for an option in the
preferences, just a need for a sane default (or, like Havoc said, a
brokenness that needs to be made to work right)
There is no need for a preferences setting you only change once. Also,
if the app works in a sane way, although differently from what I am used
to, it makes sense to adapt to the sane default behaviour than trying to
bend the application around your own usage pattern.
