[Cuis-dev] [IMPROV] Preferences Menu With Better Feedback

[Nicola Mingotti]

Hi Gerald,

I `git pull` everything and retest.

I still see the same bahavior:
1. run cuis base, nothing of my config
2. load package `PreferencesMenu.pck.st`
3. Open Preferences
4. Select 'Hide taskbar'
5. => The preferences window closes. There is nothing that can hide it.
6. `World -> Window -> Find Window` gives me only the "Workspace" which 
is truly still there.

I would say this side effect of closing the Preferences Windows when I 
change a preference
is undesirable. But, this is just my opinion ;)

bye
Nicola
