I regret to inform you that I will not apply it.

Yes, I understand your arguments. However, your patch looks more
like some personal convenience customizations than somethings which
corresponds to our global design philosophy. If the patch is a *must*
for your personal use, then you may put the necessary customizations
in your my-init-texmacs.scm file, which was exactly designed for
this kind of purpose.

I also notice that the whole preference system will be reorganized sometime 
soon,
since the new Qt philosophy requires us to write a preferences dialogue.
So, independenly of their relevance, it is not a good time for patches
to the preference system.
