(Warning: I haven't been reading this thread) On the one hand, "default" is not very helpful, since it doesn't convey concrete information. On the other, the user should be able to see what default looks like in the main lyx screen anyway. I would be all for "Default" if we had instant-apply in our dialogs. But we do not. So I'd probably want to avoid it. > Alain> The qt patch is perharps better to this respect than the xforms > Alain> one, as "default" is just one option of the choice instead of a > Alain> separate button.

Actually, if we /do/ have it, it's probably better as a separate checkbox: disabling the checkbox enables the combo box so the user can specify what they want. Having two entries on a combo box that essentially have the same result can get confusing. regards john -- Khendon's Law: If the same point is made twice by the same person, the thread is over.
