I agree that it is a fairly small number, although I don't know whether 24
is a good idea for people with small screens.

If you change the user .xml files, not the global ones, the changes will
stick. Did you try that?
I guess that making the global .xml files modifiable means marking the
complete tree as conffiles. What do people think about that? I'm a little
wary because we might end up getting wierd behaviour between upstream
version upgrades, and I don't know if we are ready to support that sort of
thing yet.

Well, I'm afraid marking the bug as 'patch' is cheating - your patch can't
be applied to the source since these files are generated :( Thanks, though,
for showing us where that entry is to be found within the xml - that does
help.
