Suggested improvement for executable file select default behavior

The "Executing scripts or desktop files" option only turns the confirmation
dialog on --- resets it, but only the confirmation dialog can turn itself off. 
Unchecking the checkbox on the Confirmations tab does nothing. And this is done 
to capture the default behavior when someone clicks an executable file.

I see a couple of issues:
1. The remembered behavior is not visible, so the user doesn't know what it is.
2. If the user changes the option (was on, turns off or visa versa), but the 
   user hasn't clicked an executable to get the dialog, the behavior is in
   some sort of a limbo state until the user clicks an executable and selects a 
   default behavior.

A suggested improvement would be to make the default behavior visible on the
"Behavior" tab.  The "Executing scripts or desktop files" confirmation dialog 
would just be a dialog and the user could turn on/off via the checkbox.
Please see the attached image for a simple example.
