When I started xfce4 several years ago, my goal was to avoid
unnecessary options as much as I could, because it confuses users and
makes to code uneedlessly complex.

Over the years we have somehow lost this from sight and added options
for anything and everything.

How many users need such an option? If it's less than 1 out of 10,
then the answer is no.

Cheers,
Olivier.
