what a strange statement... What if they had it set when they ran xforms frontend but have since decided they want to change back to the default? How do they uncheck the non-existent check-box then?

And if you don't succeed in getting it removed (be it this option or some other) will you still deny Qt users access to the option? All the handling is internal is it not? So why should the frontend attempt to dictate what features of the core are exposed to users? Allan. (ARRae)
