Thanks for your help. Actually, it's 2 - I don't use contexts, because there's really only one context I use mGSD for: My Desk. All tasks I need to take offline (agenda items for discussion) are stored offline in more portable systems such as paper folders. Distinguishing between e-Mail, phone, work on my own etc. as context feels like an unnecessary, artificial step. But I understand your explanation, and if people use myGSD as an all-in-one system with broader contexts, it's probably a good thing for them if the tiddler opens automatically. I just wish I could turn it off.
