How do I enable DBMS_OUTPUT by default (i.e. have it "always on")

The issue in this post is for a simple bug, but it resulted in an evaluation of the overly complex and confusing implementation of DBMS Output in Toad. I've created a post in the Idea Pond with some ideas for a master toggle and a simplified viewing of output. Please have a look, comment if you'd like, and cast your vote for it if you agree. Thanks.
