Disabling and enabling ipv6 is simple, so, given the current transition
situation, we should provide a menu entry and a simple dialog to do
this.

Regarding choosing the default behavior, I still am inclined towards
ipv4, since if you need ipv6, then your ISP will warn you and you will
know this, but if you need ipv4 chances are that you never heard about
that. If vista will have a great diffusion, I suppose that ISPs will
finally switch to ipv6 so that this will be a suitable default. However,
given that vista, suse 10.2 already enable it by default, and who knows
about fedora and next OSX release, your mileage may vary on the subject.
