  I'm not very deep in KDE hacking yet, but I'm using KDE since KDE 3. And for me "space shuttle control" is one of the USPs of KDE and usually my main argument in DE discussions. At some point a user will come to a situation where it is not satisfied with something. And than the user will search for the option in the config. Sometimes this search is hard, but if you find the option your problem is solved. If you don't find the option - like here - you'll be frustrated. That's why (usually silent) people like me are using KDE. If you don't want to maintain an option in the UI - cause the amount of people using it - why not just add it to the config file. I would say, that the default does not really matter. Both solutions are working somehow, and most people won't notice the difference.
