I see, yes that seems to be the case , at least for the memory part.
Over time, the process uses over 2 GB.
(No CPU, though)

Right. I think I noticed that, too.

But that does not explain, why new settings will not become persistent, does it?
I mean, when I do
       [defaults_ setObject: monitor_user_prefs forKey: displayName_];
the Mac *could* write the new settings into persistent memory/disk ...

Or is there a dedicated command that would force macOS to write the settings?

There is the -synchronize method, but the docs say it's not necessary any more.

That whole business brings up the question: should we abandon legacyScreenSaver?

If I understand correctly, there is a new framework, something to do with 
wallpapers?
I mean, the name "legacyScreenSaver" suggest, that this framework will be going 
away anyways at some point ...

What are your thoughts?

Best regards, Gabriel
