Sorry to keep banging on this, but what options make no sense?
Behaviour changes if you mess with the default -- my apps no longer
behave as I intended them to.
The BeOS conventions have always worked well, and Haiku currently
doesn't follow them. If it will, the hazard of accidental selection
(which I think was the main reason for this discussion) goes away.
