That displays the fallacy that users want to configure stuff.

They might want the option to tune an application but generally users
just want applications to work and will as a rule rather live with a
suboptimal default configuration for their soecific job than dig through
options and confusing tools/dialogs. 

The lesson we have to take away from this is to strive for good default
but remain configurable through a nice uniform interface. This is
exactly why gconf is so cool, translatable decriptor strings explain
what every key does for the user who likes to tweak the more exoteric
parts of their applications and the rest get a nice clean interface with
good defaults and the bare essencesial options.

Please don't assume that users _want_ to configure, it's not an end
goal, it's a means to get work done.
