this is why I asked for the icon offsets to be added to the Teradesk
config, so they could be chaged quickly and painlessly (under
deskicons={ add xoff=2 and yoff=25 )

plus in TD (and others) you can load a new config, and the configs can
be changed with a text editor, as well as compiled at runtime with
command line scripts (if you have an console shell)

I kind of agree about the new features, at least for these test
releases and nightly builds, as it save on having to announce every
change or added feature (from Helmuts/Alans point of view), but for
the standard release (at least at the moment) they should be off, just
because it will be usable and recognisable "out-of-the-box"

Maybe as zDesk and (the new) Thing come up to speed, features like
this one can be on by default in future releases
