After all, any program that displays images is susceptible to the hypothetical "image-based viruses" that this change is supposed to protect against, but you don't see anyone else issuing big warnings into their programs. Imagine opening up firefox, and trying to view a webpage with images, only to be prompted each time about whether or not to display each image. At the very least, we should remove the 'disabled tag from image-toggle-display.
