Interface/usability question

Howdy,

I have a checkbox in my app's preferences that is giving me philosophical problems.

The button denotes the visibility (or invisibility) of a particular object in a window when the window is first opened. The object it refers to will be invisible by default, but that's my preference, and doesn't have to be that way. And of course, I wouldn't offer the checkbox in the prefs if I thought I was always right ;-)

My question is, if there's no 'right or wrong' way the object should be by default, and I decide to make it invisible because it cuts down on screen real estate or some other moral high ground, should I mark the button as 'Visible', and have it unchecked, or 'Invisible', and have it checked?

Thanks,
-Chilton
