But this should not be a big deal. Every general purpose system has lots of options and customizations.
LyX has an option to set if you prefer a single close button instead of one for each tab, so what's wrong in adding a new option like this? We will always need to think how to organize the options to don't confuse users. All projects I know deal with this problem so LyX will not be the first in this task. Google Chrome recently changed significantly the way options are changed in the browser: due to the number of options available they implemented a search engine to filter its options. This clearly demonstrates that good ideas are welcome and we should not reject a good feature request only because it will create "another disturbing option". This is just natural. So, in the worst case, we will only need to decide if this option should be enabled by default or not.
