Seems that it makes "Save configuration" unnecessary (at least, for main instance). I am against enabling "Save configuration" for secondary instances because (in case of current behaviour when the main instance saves configuration automatically on exit) it may confuse users. Suppose you have main instance and secondary instance running. You change preferences in the secondary instance and use "Save configuration", then restart the main instance in order to make it apply new settings… and when the main instance is closing it silently overwrites them. So I thinks it's reasonable to force users to change their preferences in main instance only. Or, as another option, we can remove automatic saving of preferences when closing. As preferences are saved immediately after Preferences dialog is closed, this option wouldn't do any harm. Or would it?
