yep. Before putting wwwoffle behind privoxy I used to have a 1x1 *red* dot
there, to spot too invasive sites... some used that same imgs to paint 
whole areas - the result was funny ;).
Not sure this looks like a config action, though the config file offers to 
name the url. So perhaps one should not change those from the pkg, but add 
his own and put a proper url in the config.

right. Tools for wanderers let you define profiles like a set of configs,
that get symlinked to 'standard' places at system/net reconfig. The
advantage is, that changing current config will change the config in the 
profile, no need to resync then.
