Ah, you're right. I was thinking that our invocation of launch_editor
also respected it. It does, but we never get there at all because
use_editor is set to 0. So yeah, it really is just needed for the hook.

Your patch, even though it is a bigger change, keeps the setting to the
minimal area, which is cleaner and more maintainable in the long run.
