I have un-done this change because it doesn't work when the linear 
solver is supplied by the user.

I find it confusing when one object sets parameters for another. In this 
case, I think that it's much easier to supply the linear solver if the 
user wants to control parameters. Linear solvers are also tricky for 
setting parameters because there are very few parameters that are common 
to all solvers.
