that's what I usually do, but it takes a kde restart to pick up this

The option should stay, I agree.  I just feel the default is wrong, from 
an usability perspective.  It's trivial to undo the default in a 
1000-desktop deployment, but it's one more item in the SCM (software 
configuration management, not source code management) development stage. 
 And these kinds of small things are hard to keep track of, which 
discourages rapid adoption of new versions/releases of KDE in corporate 
settings =( and we really want to make sure everyone's using the latest 
KDE eye candy!!! =).

Yes.  I balance my smilies so they close and open parentheses escapes. 
 Luck!
