Hide TextEdit's ruler by default
<<I've no idea how this guy found this "defaults write" hack but there are two ways of doing so that are known right now: (1) examining the app's prefs file, or (2) using GNU debugger to examine the app while it's running (as described by Arctic Mac (http://arcticmac.home.comcast.net/~arcticmac/tutorials/gdbFindingPrefs.html)).
Hide TextEdit's ruler by default
it's not really that heroic an act in most cases, just a matter of knowing developers' commonly-used shell commands and what kind of stuff to look for. Any UNIX and many MacOS developers already know what to do. Indeed, and thanks for pointing out that command. I had a play with a few apps and already turned-up a few new interesting bits and pieces. I wonder if robg knows about this command? However, the point is that the OP believed people were simply dropping down to the terminal then waving a magic wand to do things "the hard way", rather than using the preferences dialog box. I wanted to make it clear that it's not trivial finding these things out. You yourself said you spent half a hour trawling through the results. That's the actions of somebody with dedication, not some fly-by-night dogmatist! ---
