If you install Spree with the default template, such as when you do a "rake sandbox", the `products_per_page` setting results in a homepage that paginates with an uneven bottom row of products. It goes to page 2 after listing only 10 products, while the 3x4 matrix in the layout has space for 12 products. You can see this if you add a few more products to the page.

Since it makes sense for new developers to build their templates off of the default one, I think it would make sense for the `products_per_page` preference to initialize to 12 instead of 10. That way no one has to go figure out what that preference is and how to set it, especially since it's not prominent anywhere in the customization documentation that I could find. I only found it after searching on the group.

I initially discussed this on the group at: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/133a8e96b19194a4
