What is needed is a single prefs dialog window with two frames-- 1) a listbox on the left (or treeview if you want to have categories like gui, audio, midi, etc.), and the frame on the right which has the checkboxes, labels, and buttons that correspond to the settings for whatever happens to be selected in the listbox/treeview.

That way, a canvas/box/wire color plugin can just consist of these widgets and their corresponding variables, so that the user can set them all in the "Preferences" dialog window.

And if it's to be not only be a good interface for devs, but also for users, each list of attributes should have the same look and feel. I think matju did something like this with auto-generatable properties dialogs.
even better: spend all this time/energy to have a decent core-gui separation in pd, get rid of tcl-tk and have a neat GUI like pd deserves..
my 2 cents.. y
