As someone who has done deployments spanning 100s of systems at a blow, this 
feature is absolutely critical. Please don't kill one of our enterprise 
features.

Moreover, it is not magic behaviour. It is DEFINED behaviour. It is magic only 
if you are oblivious to it, which can explain any number of features in our 
API. Icon theme inheritance? Magic!

If you can describe an alternative mechanism to transparently provide global 
settings to applications, let me know.
