I just fixed a bug with register-use-preview = nil about its usage
with kmacros.
So I guess it is now possible to make it the default.
In these patches (attached) I also fixed the problem of Dmitri with windows
configuration (let me know if it works), BTW I guess this bug was
already here before these changes.

Thanks all for your feedback.

PS: I didn't have the time to look in delayed preview request, will do
as soon as possible.
