Hi folks,

A lot of configuration is starting to need to be dependent on which page you're currently editing.

I'm not really sure what the best approach is to achieve this. For some variables — for example, those controlling printing — it seems reasonable to go and find the correct configuration context and extract the value each time it's needed. For others — e.g. the rendering loop — this would be much too costly.

I also think that it's important that changes to configuration take effect immediately, by having some way to trigger an update using the configuration contexts' change signals.

Any suggestions about a general approach to take?

Peter
