A ton of settings are available on the node forms, even when the global display link setting is disabled. I think it's very disturbing. Would be better if only the globally enabled links would be displayed on the node forms. The following patch does that.

The code is quite nice, but it breaks the separation of the modules.. This will have to wait until the development of the print UI module, so that these thinks can be handled in a simpler way.

@jcnventura: Thanks for your response, I agree that this should be handled better.

However, I am attaching a new patch (which I hope does not break anything) in case if somebody is interested in the meantime.

I'm closing this as won't fix. The reason is that the node configuration table still exists (and contains node-specific settings) even when the links are disabled globally. Forcing the user to re-enable them just so that they can be edited is a bad UI principle.. Nowadays most people have the vertical tabs module installed, so the print part of the form is usually hidden anyway.
