I am with Uwe here: the decision whether display formulas are centered or
left aligned is IMV (with the user hat on) a "mathematical" setting.
I would never expect it under "text"!

Seconded - the "math" tab is for settings I don't need when my documents do
not contain math.
More important for me is, that the "fleqn" option is not about
indentation but "left align formulas" ("linksbündig" opposed to the
default centering).
However, if we cannot agree where the "fleqn" setting belongs, it may be
better to keep it as a custom document option (i.e. revert the patch).
