I think it's fair to say that we do, too. It's our policy to change such 
things only when there is a clear reason to do so, and consensus among 
the developers, at least.

You can make global settings in Document> Settings> Listings.

Unfortunately, that is hard-coded. It would make a lot of sense for it 
not to be, but be configurable, but that would take some doing (though I 
doubt it would be hard to do). But it would be a format change, so not 
doable until 2.5. But please do file an enhancement request if you wish.
