 Why should i define a static home page if i want to use the none static
 one? Does not make sense.  In that case one should not be able to set a
 static blog page if no static home page has been set.  But there is no
 restriction to that. If i don't have a static homepage i still can define
 a static blog page.

 However in both cases is_home() returns true (which is correct as there is
 no static homepage set) but is_front_page() does only in once case (only
 when no static homepage and no static blog page has been set). To me this
 looks like a inconsistancy.

 is_front_page() should only return true when a static homepage is set or
 in both cases when the static and non static homepage is set. But that
 would make is_home() redundant.

 But looking at the documentation is_front_page() should only return true
 on the static_home_page.
