I like the suggestion that if the dialog consists only of globally set 
options (NLS, DOC, etc) then it shouldn't appear by default.

I also think Ilya has a point in general -- how does one know that there 
are options available to set in the case of default is "no pop?".  There 
would have to be some sort of announcement that along the lines of "no 
configuration found, using default settings" so the user would have some 
sign.

Even if the configuration is found, it would still be nice to be 
informed that a port has options (maybe part of pre-configure?)
