it's not just tasks, it's almost everything. Good example is the digital clock or the pager. So I agree with Marco: this should be global.

As I went through a lot of bug reports lately: many users have problems with it, so I would vote for global option disabled by default.

Yep; in fact, if you see the bug report (which is probably 3 or more years old at this point!) I said exactly this -> it needs to be a global setting and go into the workspace behaviour control panel. I have rejected other patches for exactly this reason.
