At this time I'm afraid that no, the split of preferences is not
amenable to this.  It's something that needs to be worked on.

One thing that would be helpful would be a list of every preference and
a way to categorize it as:

- user pref      (per user for every data file)
- data pref      (per data file for every user)
- user/data      (per user, per data file)

I believe there are lots of prefs in the first item that arguably should
live in the second or third category.  Note that File -> Properties
(instead of Edit -> Preferences) provides access to the second category.
