We still have to activate the file trigger if we're effectively modifying the configuration file (i.e. in all cases except if the user decides to keep the old file IMO). So it could be argued that it's right to activate the trigger. After all, even if the user choose to keep the old configuration file, he might have merged some of the changes by hand (using the spawned shell). Do I miss something here?
