(With > the exception of my wife, who thinks I'm always wrong.) The question is perfectly understandable, and I agree, the current behavior doesn't seem logical from here, either. If I've set the default location, I want it to be the default, not something I have to select to get, or it rather defeats the purpose. You are correct, this /should/ be examined before 1.0 stable, if not before rc-1. In fact, I was going to bug it but then switched things around a bit and hadn't set a new default so I forgot about it. I'd suggest bugging it, if you can't find a bug already entered for it. As usual when I suggest such things, post the bug number or URL here and I'll comment on it too, here, 100% agreeing. As for your wife, she apparently doesn't think you're /always/ wrong, or you'd be calling her your ex-wife! =8^) In fact, give her current status, at least at one point she apparently considered you so right you were "Mr. Right!" =8^) As I said, the fact that said status remains, indicates that's not /entirely/ changed, at least. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
