I really like the idea of the prefs being a pd patch which gets

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.
I think he means more than it doesn't show up like a regular patch
window. I think the default prefs patch window could be embedded in
the Pd window, perhaps. Or just callable from a menu.
