Sometimes the current behavior is "correct" for me, but often I agree that 
it's not what I want... No idea how to fix this properly :-S Current users 
will have arranged themselves with the behavior we have right now so I'm 
reluctant to change this. A config value could be introduced...

Hm, I'd like to have David's opinion on this.
