I tried these new configuration files today, but I had a lot of
problems with them and didn't really get anywhere. I'll look again

There's at least one bug in configure_monitor that I found during my
testing. The place where configure_monitor decides to pre-answer the
selection method with "Advanced" may be wrong. If I leave it as it
appears in the original file:
