It is not the .ini format that is holding anything up.
If at anything it is my workload during the week, usually during
weekends I have some more time to spare.
But also the windows size storing stuff put me a bit off and I am a
lot more unsure if that is the right approach at all. (I think it is
in combination with the (reworked) other lyxrc patch).
We must be a bit careful to discuss new componenets so that we do not
paint ourselves into any corners. Allowing "strange patches" into the
code just because it does not break anyting would/will create
maintenance hell.

Fixing bugs that have bothered *you* is quite ok and welcomed. _but_
all of us must expect our patches to be scrutinized and demanded
rewritten before inclusion. I'd rather use a week or two at getting
a patch palatable, than spending half a year (or more) with the stench
of it fouling the code. (Note that is paragrpah has nothing to do with
your current patches, but is more my (often critizised approach at new
things))
