 No. First of all, that doesn't seem to be the common case, knowing several 
Window Maker users, second, it doesn't really matter than much and third, as 
said in the text, I cannot redo any particular test.

 That's part of final polishing.

 I suppose it needs different defaults then. The applet is much better than 
the systray version when it shows only what's needed.

 Perhaps, and it's the same with Klipper. But I can't redo that, and maybe the 
defaults should change anyway :).

 It's intentional and that's why that sentence and the following one are 
there.

 I consider the current accompanying text sufficient.
