[Qgis-developer] rendering behavior options not available

[William Kyngesburye]

I wanted to test the recent [spatialite] loading speed issue by turning layers off before saving a project.  There is a QGIS render preference to turn on/off layers by default when adding them to a project, but it is greyed out (and checked on), along with the other render behavior options, # features to draw and render cache (unchecked).  I think it's always been greyed out as far back as I can remember.

Why are these options present if they can't be changed?  Do I need to enable something in compilation?  Is it dependent on another option?  If they can't be changed at all, they shouldn't be shown in the application preferences.
