It may be the correct behavior, but I'm very much used to the old one :)

At now it is really a PITA for me, and I will hack it away in my own 
images whatever happen in the trunk. Maybe a preference would make sense 
(I don't mind having a lot of preferences: I think this is the way to go 
when there are so many little but important workflow points where people 
disagree).

Best,
