This would subvert the whole options story. I propose to not show the dialog for standard options, such as DOCS (née PORTDOCS), EXAMPLES, NLS and thereabouts. And IF we show-on-changed, we need to highlight the changed options and place the cursor on the first displayed one, to not waste everybody's time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlGjmXkACgkQvmGDOQUufZVt+QCfarE1IN/djczxlJIqPTaP3kmR W+YAn0eNI0bSqM2/7Ys9RyoAgqLJeFup =6v6T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
