Ah, so you're referring to it from a configurable point, rather than
something which wasn't possible, such as a lacking feature? OK.
First off, "easily and readily" is still subjective. What's easy or
readily so to you, might not be to me, or might not be to someone else
-- so there's already certain levels of disagreement about that. But
that's OK. One thing all WMs and DEs do that I have seen, is they try
and provide a set of defaults -- that is they'll usually (through some
means) make it known that if you click this button or that button, an
action is performed. Whether that action is what you were expecting or
not, depends. But like all good WMs, they can be changed -- as to how
this happens, depends on the WM, and to an extent, depends upon how far
one is prepared to dig to do it.
