I was just now looking at this using the tabbed notebook interface (though I'm running the 6.3Alpha0 build, so maybe there is some difference there from 6.2) and I see that the different places where the header/footer dialog is available already enables or disables depending on what was selected in the page format dialog. Given that the page format button is next to the header/footer button it becomes a visual clue that when you disable them in the page format dialog and return to the main window the h/f dialog button is immediately disabled.
Plus it is good to see that both the page format and header/footer dialog is available during print preview, which is where one can notice that it is or isn't there, right.
My question Is; Will this change in menus to happen in the 6.2 release?
Thanks and best wishes,
Drew

Since when is this decided by votes?
I tried to do what you are doing (disable header and footer by default
in Calc) some time ago, but I came to the conclusion that there needs to
be some serious UX improvements before we can do that.
Joe Average will not know how to enable them (that he has to go to
Format->Page to enable them).
If you want to disable headers and footers by default, you need to
1) Always enable the Insert->Header/Footer menu entry
2) Add an option to enable Header/Footer to the Header/Footer dialog
or something similiar.
