Ideally it would be good to avoid having a central config file. It can be
out of sync with the instalations. Also requiring installing and
uninstalling guis to write to the file introduces locking problems and so
on.
It looks like we can do al the stuff we need with filename/paths and
anything wacky could be handled with metadata (I we agree its a good
idea).
