we make it configurable so we can cater to everyone, we pick defaults that cater to the largest # of people possible. that means the defaults screw some people over, but hopefully the smallest # of people possible (who can then visit the configuration). your requests is to screw over a larger number of people and that's obvious sub-optimal. how do we know this? an impressive amount of prior research done outside of kde as well as some done within it. =) > Hence for now there is nothing I can do other than recommending a study on > this.
