Allow to configure UI defaults for new workspaces about eclipse.platform.ui

[merks]

I don't think that would be so easy. It's pretty pimped up, making it harder to update to new preference and then is of course it's geared toward recording the preferences the way that Oomph records preferences...

I made a "professional" ;-) mockup-up for such a flag which could trigger a wizard to configure a configuration wizard.

This does not look like Standard SWT/Windows/GKT/Anything/... :-P

This would allow us to modify the default with the option for users to change the new default back to their preferences.

Isn't there already the Welcome page offering something similar for "new" features? Maybe it would make more sense to have a comparison Image:

"this is how it looks before" --> "this is the new Default"
[please click here to change the defaults]

this would then also allow people to get aware if the do not always show a workspace chooser.

Welcome screen would also work. As long as we give an easy way to change the new defaults back to the user prference, it should be easier for us to adjust the defaults.

@merks could your configuration wizard be extraced from Oomph and contributed to platform without a lot of work or it is strongly dependent on Oomph code?
