both the preview and print profiles are in vector for me, which is good.
also the color and edit seems to be working and the preferred colors
are stored (in the settings/registry(win32), apparently).

we *might* have to get some user feedback on the colors...i think
storing them globally is a bad idea.
will create a thread on the ML for that.

1) the "per-template" vs "global colors" issue...
2) "print in color" doesn't work - always prints in color; i guess you
haven't finished the correct "to-greyscale" conversation yet, as we
were discussing it just yesterday
3) i get no text / data in the tables under the profiles. could this
be a bug on my end?

i see these as important to have before the next pull request.
