OK, so for 1.3 we have introduced user configurable settings, globally and per 
user. 

In order to have a program that changes these settings, I have modified 
test/preferences. But this program is now easily confused for some demo, 
causing the user to change system wide settings, and later wondering why the 
visible focus is gone in all FLTK apps.

Please comment on your preferred solution:


1: changing the settings requires the user password or system password. This 
will make the casula user stop and think, but it is quite uncomfortable.

1a: the menu at the bottom left has three settings: demo, user, system. 
Changing away from "demo" requires the password

1b: the user can change all settings, but only when he finally clicks OK< we 
ask for the password

1c: a visual lock icon must be clicked and the PW must be entered before any 
changes can be done. Until then, everything is grayed out.


2: create a new application (suggested name "Flavor"), parallel to Fluid, with 
the same directory structure and Makefile setup. This will make it obvious to 
the user that this is a "serious" app, and not just a test. This is also a lot 
of work... .

2a: ... *and* ask for a password, options as above


3: add an FLTK settings dialog to Fluid. Easy, quick, but not obvious at all.
