user415: Is there a way to configure the number of keypairs (or addresses) created by bitcoind or bitcoin-qt?
I've looked at the sample bitcoin.conf file, but failed to find the relevant parameter.

user415: Finally found it:
# Pre-generate this many public/private key pairs, so wallet backups will be valid for
# both prior transactions and several dozen future transactions.
#keypool=100
