This should *NOT* be a developer decision as it's only a matter of
checking a box in GConf.

This is an usability decision (and maybe also a security related
decision).

Some of the best developers out there are simply not able to think about
usability (even if they often think they are) and some of the best
usability specialists cannot write a Hello World. Definitely not the
same job.
