I like that idea coz it always takes some time ( about 3-8 sec) to show the 
whole structure for my tables ( at least for the big once with lot of 
fields) and i never need that too.
same for db_details if i select a database ( im not sure, but i think there 
is a config setting for that ... as for nearly everything *G* .. getting to 
that later on in the text)


One more thing about  "...adding  additional config setting  ..." Im not 
sure how you guys feel but i think  every one more configurable item ( via 
config file) is adding to the confusion at least for standard 
users.  shoud'nt PMA be an easy to use tool for everybody !? or should it 
be a high-configurable Tools that might be able to fit every bodies need - 
i think most user will not find the config entry because they just use the 
tool but do not know all that behin-the-sciene things one would need to 
know about all that nice switches .. !?!? Ok the best would be a 
Web-Interface to
set/select all the things .. but that would lead into an PMA owned 
Database/Table to store the values ... hmm
and one more think every new switch for a new fantastic feature ( or is it 
a bug ... *G* ...) is also adding to the complexity of the code even now a 
lot of code is just there to check all of the switches, settings ....
