I really like the idea of the prefs being a pd patch which gets loaded as a hidden patch like pd-_float (but doesn't get destroyed if you happen to "vis" it then close it so that one can view it from a menubutton).
Sending "vis 0" to a toplevel canvas-object doesn't "close" the patch in the way you might imagine : then the patch still runs, but the window is closed AND not listed in the Window menus. It can be a useful trick. The canvas can still be reached if you know its symbol and can be brought back using a "vis 1". Thus it could be summoned from any patch.
