I will clean up the preference structure to remove obsolete fields.
This means that the preference ID will change and it will not be 
possible to upgrade to version 1.9 and later if you are using version
1.1 or older without losing the preference settings; I doubt this will
be a problem considering that 1.1 was released in 2001 ;-)

I'd also like to do something about the per-document settings. Today,
it is only the Font & Layout settings that can be stored for a
document, but there are other settings that also could be of interest,
e.g. alignment, force default text colours, enable underline tags,
word lookup, and screen depth (the device's default depth results in
faster rendering, but you might want to use a different setting for
documents with many images). The screen depth is stored, but (as far 
as I can tell) never restored...

Don't know how to handle these "global" and "local" preference
settings, yet. Some "local" options are mixed with options that
only makes sense "globally" and we also have to make it easy to
store the settings...

Actually, the preference forms could need a bit of work, too. Some
options seems a bit misplaced, e.g. why is the Alignment setting not
included in the Font & Layout? Still, the Font & Layout settings
should probably be moved to the preferences (and be split into two
different forms; one for font and another one for layout).

Opinions? Suggestions?
