I would definitely be satisfied by this
just like I'm satisfied by the possibility of changing the launcher size or his hiding behaviourThose who have been arguing for minimizing on yet another click on the launcher will likely not be satisfied with an option

Maybe such a patch would be accepted in this specific case, but I would guess not. The last statement is wrong. A patch needs to be reviewed and tested to make sure it does what it should and makes nothing stop doing what it should. So here's harm already. Then it adds complexity. You have to care about it on refactoring, it's like extra weight you have to carry around.
The option needs to be exposed to the user somehow. It needs to be documented. If hardly anyone knows about it, it would be useless.
Those who have been arguing for minimizing on yet another click on the launcher will likely not be satisfied with an option. The real desire is default behavior, be it because the person doesn't want to have to change an option, be it for a true believe the behavior would be better for the majority of users.
