Ah, that's where it is!  I couldn't find it so I thought it had been
"simplified" away.  In that case, I would change my patch so that it
only clears the bookmark at the end of playback if this setting or its
associated action indicates setting the bookmark.  In other words,
setting the bookmark at the end of a recording is equivalent to
clearing it.  This goes for recordings, videos, and DVDs.

Are there any consistency or other usability problems with this proposal?
