Is there any particular reason why this expert mode was implemented in Gotham ?
Wouldn't be easier to choose wich level to use in system settings ?
Settings --> System --> Expert Mode --> On / OFF

I agree with that. usually, people set the setting that are comfortable with and leave it there. Maybe just a pointer that tells users that they can change the level in Settings -> System.
No.
That's no better than having it in the sidebar like it already is.

I really like this one, but it seems a bit confusing to have it in-line with the other options. It's a setting, but a setting for settings. What about doing it just like that, but in its own box just below the main settings box? It would give the impression that it's more "global", rather than "level" being something related to that actual window. It would also give more room for the settings descriptions, which we'll hopefully expand upon for certain more complicated settings.

Just gave it a try and it looks very nice IMO. I vote for this approach. It also contains an improvement to the description area which is very much needed as well.
Not sure if it's worth the trouble and how to do it, but do we want to different colouring for additional non-standard settings? It might be easy for the settings color but probably not so much for the level indicator/button with the different colours as visible in `Black's screenshot.
