There is IMHO a way to do this without having to edit the config files. Just simply setting an overriding flag for the global configuration which should be honored (hint: defined by style guide) by all apps when intially loading their config files, allows you to make one setting, i.e. the global one, stick everywhere. This will also allow us to make everything consistent by simple setting these flags and letting people customize them as they need. Of course you can always get around this by manually editing the config-files as well. Regards, Dawit A.
