We should start with the Tabular dialog. People can always 
modify their preferences file by hand.

Unfortunately, the Tabular dialog is different to every single 
other dialog in that changes made to it are registered 
immediately. Ie, there's no "Apply" or "Ok" button. 

The result is extremely complex code.

Personally, I think it would be a good idea to start afresh, 
define a TabularParams struct and use the same machinary and 
approach as all the other dialogs. 

First though I'd have to win the flame war that this suggestion 
will probably precipitate and I get bored too easily when 
justifying the obvious to persevere.
