Yes, you know that, I know that. But the "average" user probably won't
know that, since there's no GUI to configure that (gconf-editor doesn't
count).

But, regardless whether or not this can be configured via a GUI, my main
point is: if you change something which people are accustomed to, the
new behaviour should be an improvement over the old.
What *is* the improvement?
