Thanks to the Ana Krivokapic's comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1271151 I've found a typo in my code, so it's not Horizon's bug but mine. So, the original approach I used for augmenting openstack_dashboard settings (which is described in the initial letter of this thread) works fine, and it's still more flexible than a new Horizon's mechanism for adding separate dashboards settings, so we'll stick to our approach. Just to keep you informed :).
Also, the thing that bothered me most when I thought about how Murano could use this new Horizon's config facility, is changing DATABASES parameter (muranodashboard app needs it to be set) - and more generally, resolving conflicts when different dashboards change some common parameters (such as DATABASES or SESSION_BACKEND) affecting all Django applications. Current algorithm of determining which dashboard sets the actual value of a parameter such as DATABASES seems unreliable to me in sense that it can break other dashboards which failed to set this parameter to the value they needed.
