First the "developers" generalize the hell out of the GNOME UI, tossing a bunch of preferences into the registry, including defaults that they know damn near everyone will want to change (spatial Nautilus, anyone? I didn't think so)... Then they go and include dialogs for niche shit like this?

Even if it can be claimed to be useful for situations such as plugging in a tablet and starting Gimp, how is this, in any way, a common use? You have to think hard to come up with shit like this, yet it's right there in Preferences. If anything, this is the type of crap that belongs in gconf (ugh, don't get me started on that registry-wannabe...), seeing as how the vast majority of people wouldn't have any use for this.
