Review common user customizations and consider for defaults

Review these resources and determine which items can be provided by default, or in a cleaner, official way

Approved, mdz 2006-11-07

There are plenty of specific, actionable items on the wiki page which are targets for Feisty. it's true that there are many comments and questions, and they should be moved to a separate section. Often they have been added by casual visitors to the wiki -mdz
2007-01-31: I mark the spec "Implemented". All action items are adressed, only "frostwire" and "mozilla-
