[openbeos-preferences] Menu Preference Apps Problems

Well just thought I'd start a little discussion on some of the stuff that
Geoff had mentioned as still being problems with the Menu preferences app.

1.  Defaults for family and style

For this I had originally used just plain constants.  I think this would be
the best place for the following reason.  The Menu prefs app defines what
the menus look like, and therefore it should logically also contain the
information on what the default settings are.  I don't think it should be
part of any other library or program.  Maybe the defaults could be stored in
another file distributed with the app, so that the defaults can be changed
without a recompile.

2.  Where do we save the ctl/alt pref?  It is not on the menu info struct.

I noticed this one also.  I haven't found a good place to store that info,
but I have noticed that it is the only Menu Pref that will change in running
apps, where as the font for example will not change in running apps.  So
maybe that's a good hint to help find the answer?

Well that's all I have now.
