I agree that appending "(Default)" is somewhat silly. What I actually 
want to have in a few places is an additional "Default (foo)" entry 
where "foo" obiously would be the name of the _current_ default. The 
keyword here is _current_. It is often desirable to be able to set the 
default identity/transport as identity/transport and not a specific 
identity/transport so that one does not have to change the 
identity/transport in hundreds of places just because the default 
identity/transport has changed.

For example the default value for the identity used for folders in KMail 
should be "Default" so that in case the user makes another identity the 
default identity not some outdated identity is associated with all his 
folders.

Another example is the transport used in the composer. I mostly want it 
to be set to "Default" so that automatically the current default 
transport is used for sending the message. Obviously, this is only 
important for queued messages.

So, in short:
- I agree to removing the "(Default)" appendix.
- I want the comboboxes to optionally have "Default (foo)" as first 
entry.

Ingo
