At the same time, I doesn't have anything against removing on/off from desktop widget - little inconvenient, but, if it's available from CP, it's ok.
(Edit: Yeah, or when you need to do something so often it's annoying!)

Can't agree, and please, don't even think about it.
N900 turns tv-out automatically, when a resistance of ~75 Ohm is detected, between appropriate pins of jack socket. Particularly, it's result of it detecting such resistance on plug, due to it being connected to composite video in of TV - resistance there *should* be 75 Ohm.
Ho ever, many TV's - especially new ones - doesn't follow rule of 75 Ohm (it was technical reason, not a rule of thumb - some part got such resistance in older TV's), and, in "worse" cases (at least for our device), it doesn't enable composite in (and such 75 Ohm resistance), unless it detect signal.
At the same time, N900 doesn't enable signal, until it gets 75 Ohm. So, both devices are waiting forever for each other. In times before TV-Out control widget, one need to prepare special cable, with 75 Ohm resistor bundled inside, and switch, to "cheat" N900 into detecting 75 Ohm, and quickly turn switch, so TV detect signal - and hope, that it will be detected by N900, again, before it disables signal "thinking", that TV cable isn't connected.
So, with all due respect, ideas of disabling manual control over TV-Out, should be fought with fire. I don't care about noobs messing up in their control panel - if someone doesn't understand basic things, he/she got enough things inside controls, to f*** everything this way or another. If someone doesn't feel confident with changing settings, let them stay away from control panel.
At the same time, I doesn't have anything against removing on/off from desktop widget - little inconvenient, but, if it's available from CP, it's ok.

If someone else has problem that when tv output is working and status menu entry is not shown post output of this command:
Code:
lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_soc_audio_logicaldev_input
