Regarding patco's problem with realtime mode: "chmod +s" is not a good idea as it's a potentially big security hole opening up your system for all kind of local exploits.

Frankly, on the average machine, almost all important files are in the same user account that runs pd. In any pd file it's easy to append a line like this:

#X savetofile .pdsettings /home/matju;

Which doesn't appear in a patch and causes pd to copy that patch over my .pdsettings and works even when using -noloadbang. Have fun.

(PS: I don't really have a .pdsettings, I'm just simulating something that could hurt...)
