No. An extra option to choose between old and new behaviour is *never* the best 
way to solve 
something. It may be from the naive point of view of a user. But it leads to 
unmaintainable code.

If we would have added such an option for each time a user didn't like a user 
interface change 
we would by now have a preference dialog of 30 tabs.

Each time an option to choose between old and new behaviour is requested, what 
really should 
happen is analyse the perceived benefits of old and new behaviour, look which 
ones can be 
combined in an improved design and make compromises based on relative 
importance of the 
various benefits.

That's what has started on the bug report.

Geert
