I was thinking of that, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

With the dictionary-per-monitor your suggesting, 
I guess I would have to do something like this:

    NSDictionary *monitor_dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
displayname, defaultsForMonitor, nil ];   // where defaultsForMonitor is an 
ancillary dictionary
    [defaults registerDefaults: monitor_dict];
    NSDictionary * monitor_user_defaults = [defaults dictionaryForKey: 
displayname];
    NSNumber * pref1num = [monitor_user_defaults valueForKey: @"Pref1"];
    real_pref1_ = [pref1num intValue];

I.e., I don't get the nice NSUserDefaults machinery.

Plus, it's all or nothing, I can't have some preferences defined by the user 
and some from the defaults.

Best regards, Gabriel
