It is a minor point. I won't fight until death about it and your arguments are 
valid. The best long term solution would be for our 'bloated' applications 
like Konqueror, KOffice to have a first-time wizard to choose the basic 
configuration options (size of the paper, default template, default fonts, 
plugins, etc...). It would cut the complexity for basic users.

I agree with you, it is a good idea.
