OOOHHHHHH. Is THAT how it's supposed to work? I never did figure that
out. The convention I noticed somewhere was to create a "reconfig"
method which would get called whenever ANY preference changed. Not very
nice, but it worked...
You're right, though: we need to allow the preference hooks to run. It
would be SO much easier. The whole preferences code is amongst the
oldest (== really screwed up). I see that Martin continued on this silly
route when he did the managedwin rewrite...
Sigh.
