While experimenting with my nodelets setup, I reduced the enabled frontpage nodes to (Node Status, Chatterbox, Nodelet Nodelet) and "use frontpage nodelets everywhere". Then (still on the user settings node 1072) I tried using the Nodelet Nodelet to turn on a random additional nodelet, and it did that but also unset the "use frontpage nodelets everywhere" option, so that all the default nodes appeared.

Based on a quick experiment, it doesn't appear to suffer the same problem if you try this from a node other 1072; I'm guessing that index.pl has some special handling to cope with this submit button (name="sexisgood") when the hiden node_id is 1072.

    Ah, sorry about that. I had added Nodelet Nodelet to the list of publicly available nodelets to let certain people in the know in on the testing of said nodelet, and had forgotten it was still there. The bug has been fixed, thanks. It was indeed a conflict between various 'sexisgood' buttons.

    More nodelet features are forthcoming, so stay tuned.

      Thanks. For what it's worth, I was trying it in the hope that it'd do something different: I want to keep the enabled nodelets as brief as possible, so I was hoping the Nodelet Nodelet would either show the selected nodelet in a full page as if it were a node, or show it as a nodelet but temporarily (a one-shot enable) so that I could still find back things like the 'Leftovers' links when I needed them.

    Later: turns out that this bug unset a load of other settings such as front page sections and theme configuration as well, so I'd guess that the combination of node_id and name of submit button are being treated as the full form submission, and the value of the submit button is being ignored.
