That is pretty weird. Filed a bug yet?

Might want to let this topic rest for a bit. The current defaults are 
useful without being overkill.

Anyway, if there's one thing I've learned by lurking on this list for 
some time is that regardless of how many people agree with you 
(default_blue, plastik), simply voicing your opinion here won't get you 
anywhere. Don't ask me how to get these changes implemented though. 
Unless you get the backing of an involved developer who can manage to 
convince his peers, then you're doomed to endless argument on mailinglists.
