We have a power user tool, MyUnity. If it doesn't do exactly what
people want then people will file bugs and then people will either
write the config option or not.

Then we'll have a power user tool that will work. And we do try to
warn people about the dangers of CCSM, but this is one of those cases
where we need to say "Sorry, you can't switch to the cube" instead of
"well you can switch to the cube, but if you fail the saving throw
your desktop turns into a wallpaper with no panels, no launcher, and
no file manager and removing these dot directories, but hey, linux is
about choice!"
