I thought this may of been set by the uDig configuration file (cannot remember 
the name of it; but it is the file people who build their own RCP applications 
use to customise how uDig behaves).

But yes I would prefer a preference setting (under user control; although I can 
understand why an RCP developer may want to lock down the behaviour for their 
application?)
