Now is a good time to talk about configuration defaults and how to get back
to them, after changing a setting manually. Every setting or option should
have a "return to default" button somewhere close, either for the entire
page of settings, or for the individual setting, as it is in compiz config
settings manager (

note the brush for "return to default")

This way, even if i break something by customizing it, which should actually
not be possible and would indicate a design flaw, i can still restore the
default state which works.
