Preference Window

[Chema Celorio <chema_gnome@celorio.com>]

I am going to start working on a preference window for Dr. G.

Right now to get started i will implement the
get and set of :
       float_prec
       max_digits
       results_as_floats
       scientific_notation
       full_expressions
       max_errors
       mixed_fraction
       integer_output_basemax_digits
       results_as_floats
       scientific_notation
       full_expressions
       max_errors
       mixed_fraction
       integer_output_base

I plan to have these upper tabs :
- General                will include preferences that affect  all dr. G

- Figure                   Preferences affecting only in Figure
- Canvas                 Preferences affecting only in Canvas
- Calculator            Preferences affecting only in Calculator
- GEL                     Preferences affecting only in GEL
- Printing                ( Maybe latter )

Can you plese tell me of all of the preferences listed above which are
common across all of Dr. G and wich are used only in the calculator.

And any comments ideas are welcomed.

Thank You
Chema
