Alas, right now there is not a good separation of preferences into which
are per-user, per-datafile, or per-user-per-datafile.  There has been
significant discussion about restructuring them, but no progress as of
yet.

There has been no discussion on similar work for saved reports, but you
are right that it needs to happen.
