If Hari doesn't get around to it in the next week or so, someone bug me and I'll do it. We're "fighting the power" a bit on this, and if we don't make the compu-normative behavior the default (ugh) we should definitely make the preference easy to discover and change for newcomers.

On the subject: since most prefs are just enable/disable, what do folks think about a small project to put them all in the menu system (rather than some heavy-handed PreferenceBrowser?)

The snags will all be non-Boolean prefs which would need either submenus or dialogs. My thought is that the mainstay of preference interaction could be programmatically generated based on the prefs object's structure except in unusual cases (which would need to be handled with cleverness.)

Thoughts? Please shoot holes in my hot air balloon, dear friends.
