No. But it the option is to 'Start from taskcenter' is enabled imo it 
should be understood a kind of override setting and that's why priority.

My too. 'Start from taskcenter' would be just *exception* - a kind of 
shortcut definition too.

Yes - but if GET-parameters have the highest priority then 
setup.override.startModule=... would not work. This was my main point.

At least Typo3 shoud check if
setup.override.startFromTaskcenter
or
setup.override.startModule

have been set.
That could be done for example this way:

$this->overrideProperties = 
$3lib_BEfunc::getModTSconfig(0,'setup.override');	 
$this->overrideProperties=$this->overrideProperties['properties'];

then conditions would be following.

if(!$this->overrideProperties['startFromTaskcenter'] && 
!$this->overrideProperties['startModule'] && $module)) {
	$module=... // information from GET-variables
	}
elseif ($BE_USER->uc['startInTaskCenter']) {
	$module = 'user_task';
   	}
elseif ($BE_USER->uc['startModule']) {
     	$module = $BE_USER->uc['startModule'];
   	}

This should set highest priority for admin settings but
GET parameters would override *normal* user settings,
but *not* those, which have been set by 'setup.override.something'.

It would be nice also that user could set startModule then
from User > Setup, when the setting would be fully consintent.
