As the Gallium stuff tends to be buggy at times on some hardware, makingafriendly interface to force software rendering could be seen as a very positive thing.

The system should always choose the best for the user; it's too complicatedanyway for most users (including myself) to make even an educated guess asto what is the best solution.
Think normal user would not bother to open the preflet at all. Think for interested users this preflet is a nice gimmick. I would keep it at least for debugging the new gallium stuff, if that makes sense.
