To be more accurate, the idea is that allowing user control is often a way to sweep problems under the rug instead of actually solving them. Or, to put in another way, configurability is an option that makes people stop thinking too soon about a problem. Take the current discussion, for example. If everyone agreed from the beginning that repositioning the bubble was the way to go, Apoorva might have never proposed his mockup. Sometimes configurability *is* the best option, but rarely this conclusion is reached in an honest way. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
