[BioC] Limma parameters and FDR

As an additional but related question. Is it possible to change the
proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses given using the Benjamini and
Hocberg fdr procedures in multtest or the p.adjust/topTable functions in
limma. 

I suspect that 0.05 is also too conservative

 I've been examining the eBayes function in Limma using some affymetrix
data
we have. The default proportion setting: 0.01 I think is probably wrong
for
the comparison of tissue groups I have.

Is there a rational way to estimate/guesstimate the correct proportion?
Or
isn't that the point anyway?
