Sure. Clearly the best solution is one that addresses the actual problem, which is below the level of the UI. However, in conjunction with that (or indeed, in the absence of that, which is the current situation) the optimal solution is a sensible default, along with user-configurable differences for those users who have some opinion and technical acumen to use them. This has been the design philosophy of Linux applications and environments for a very long time, but for some reason is against the wishes of the Gnome 3 team.
