Comment 5 for bug 294840

OK, I suppose that these are reasonable uses for expert mode. I just try to avoid cases of people using it unnecessarily, since we put very little effort into its UI.

On F4 vs. F6: what standard widgets? :-) This is all implemented in gfxboot, and no standard widgets are available - we have to draw and handle them all by hand. As such it maintained my sanity somewhat better to have them as two separate menus. This is a case where I'd certainly look at a patch somebody offered, but am unlikely to have time to do any more fancy widget design myself. I don't think we should unify the menus without having it more visually clear what's going on, as that would make it even more confusing.

For the time being, I expect to get rid of the confusing F6 F6 interface in jaunty, and have F6 pop up that menu immediately, since that's relatively straightforward. We'll see how that goes.
