That was the idea with the list - it is possible to have multiple
clients installed on a multiuser system. So it would be good to have an
editable LIST instead of only one entry. I guess it is hard for any
distrib to implement a multiple client-selector from the outside.
Different users will use different settings, and a list of entries could
help here to offer them the alternatives in a convinient way! (I want to
put the discussion of future possibilities aside, by now)

The question is: good for whom...? P-)

ciao BoP
P.S.: The ktalkd-helpfile could be updated with the explaination for the
answering-machine settings!
