My point is that I first thought it was just "broken" for quite some 
time, (till someone brought up the fact that no, it' not broken. Ubuntu 
devs just decided to cripple it for you).

And I'm hardly a Linux newbie.  But those who are (or Ubuntu newbies 
anyway).....

In other words, this decision to disable it by default was a poor one.

Just my $.02
