I think Aaron's right here that it mostly is a problem of Akregator.

But what I'm trying to explain is that in some cases you loose a lot
more than you gain. I know that there should be _one_ default-setting
and not multiple per-apps settings, though that future-default setting
should be elaborated a lot before it becomes default.

I added two screenshots just to illustrate the difference for Akregator.
Yes I know that's not a good example, but we have to *find* such
examples to fix them. That is something where localization and ui-layout
are a part of the problem as well as of the solution.
