It's handy to add entries to registry while running the program sometimes (and I regret that you can't do this under Linux). But maybe we could simply have "Reparse config" command in "Debug" menu instead. Actually this is a very good idea -- it's simple and it should make serious difference performance-wise.

I think all code should use only internal (i.e. wxConfig group) names internally. Am I missing something?

I'd say always, in fact, except when showing it to the user, no? Thanks for your ideas!
