> 1. Are any of those settings ones that you would often want to change
*while* typing? (If so, maybe they should be in the indicator menu, not
just in System Settings.)

Except for the Simplified/Traditional switch under limited
circumstances, there should be no need to change any of these settings
while typing.

> 2. Why is the default number of candidates 5?

Interesting question, but this is for the maintainers of the pinyin
package to figure out.

It probably has to do with the maximum acceptable size of the candidate
list when it's laid out horizontally. Sometimes you might have
candidates with 2 or more characters, other times you have only 1. If
you have a fixed number of candidates, sometimes 5 is too few, and
sometimes 5 is just right (most of the time it's too few). Windows
handles this by clipping the candidate list to a fixed width (so the
number of candidates shown is variable).
