As far as consistency with other parts of Amarok I'm perfectly willing to fix 
it.  It was just never pointed out before, at least not to me, and I've had 
very little time since the beginning of November to test things out so I 
never noticed it.

As for my email, I wasn't trying to start a flame.  I'm making the point that 
while I know various developers feel various ways about options, the current 
system doesn't jibe with reality.  The reality is that we *do* have options 
that control the user interface experience.  Whether developers like them 
being there or not, they're there because people want them, like them, and 
use them.

I understand the "options are there because developers couldn't figure the 
right way for something to be" viewpoint.  But Amarok is popular and thrives 
because we listen to our userbase...we give them the features they want, fix 
the bugs they want, and help them out with problems.  Removing a popular 
feature because some of the developers can't decide what the defaults should 
be and don't want to allow the user to choose it is a disservice to our 
users.
