Why should it only be default for people choosing the windows style? Just 
because it is inspired by how windows does things doesn't mean that only 
ex-windows users find it useful.

I guess we should disable all wizards and popups for non-ex-windows users 
too right? Or is it only things you don't turn off?

IMO good defaults are very important, and i don't really think kpersonlizer 
should influence those very much. Imagine someone who are used to the 
"windows" settings chooses "kde" by accident (or just closed 
kpersonalizer), and now the system acts totally differently. Is it easy for 
him to get what he thought was default behavior back? I don't believe it 
is. (and i don't like kpersonalizer as it is because of this)
