and then it was already done.

ok, commited.

MustuxGlobalProperties has been written with a new extension in mind (not 
implemenented yet): callback function registration. So if several classes 
access the same property, and one changes it, the others can get notified about 
it if they registered a callback function before. Also when 
ProjectManagerWindow changes the values of the properties, the change will be 
able to take effect immediately where necessary. (registration will be on a per 
key/value basis, so you get only notified when an actually needed key/value 
changes)

what do you think about this idea ?
