Just my 2 cents for this discussion: while developing Canola2 (the most 
downloaded and used media player for maemo platforms) we had this forum where 
users could talk with us, etc.. We couldn't use IRC or mailing lists because 
this users were _really_ "average Joe" users. In this forum they used to 
complain about some bits and put wishes there and a lot of times we just didn't 
hear them because it was against "project vision" or because we thought it was 
not a good idea. In the end we really learned that the user don't know what he 
wants :). He thinks that he knows but he doesn't.

That's why I think Aaron's and also Celeste's opinions are much more important 
on this subject than user's. Now comes the point sebas talked about: they 
diverged and even at this point we have to make a decision. sebas just chose 
one direction that is go with the maintainer's pov and it's not wrong (just as 
it would not be wrong to take celeste's opinion as she is the usability 
expert).

Please guys, let's not make a storm in a cup of water: let's choose one 
behavior and see if users opens too many bugs for it and we fix it in the next 
versions. Don't fight with each other for a plasmoid's feature :)

Cheers,
