Personally I believe a Pref_Server of some kind, along with a decent XML-Format
for storing an Applications
settings should not be that hard to implement (although it might underestimate
the XML-Part here). Including one in
the initial release and having the Preference Apps replacements used when
approiate, while staying compatible to
the old way of storing (if possible) should not be huge task.

Well, whoever wants to write a simple Pref_Server and define that Settings-DTD,
sure why not. If it is going to be
included in R1 or not, we`ll see.
As I personally like that idea, I propose whoever is interested in actual doing
something, mails me off-list, and we`ll
discuss further proceedings. I just don´t want another "We definetly need this
almost-unrelated-feature fast"-
Thread emerge.
Tschoe,
Olli
