Sorry, I don't buy this. PA is not KDE. We try to handle things
automatically if we can and only expose a minimal set of controls.

I am trying my best to merge as many sliders in our pipeline into
one as possible. Sure it takes away control. But that's the purpose of
the whole think.

Yes, the logic is not tweaked that well right now. But hey, my job is
to improve things, and that's what I will be doing.
