Guys, this is verging on a bikeshed discussion. We won't be installing
Haiku this often to justify changing those defaults.
We may eventually arrange a system where Haiku images are mostly
pre-cooked but some preferences can be tuned online from a form or
something, and then the final image is built.
(p.s.: in the interest of full disclosure, I confess I really dislike
navigational browsing [which was made popular by Microsoft's sick IE
bundling and forced symbiosis] unless drag-able tabs are available
[thanks Opera for spreading this one]. Still, spatial rocks!)
(P.p.s.: sorry for top-posting, this is the Gmail Mobile app's fault
as it doesn't allow editing the quotation region at all :P)
