[PD] Preferences weirdness in Pd 43.1 ( 2?) in RPi

[Julian Brooks]

Hey Pierre,

[import] isn't a vanilla object so may not be installed on the pi?  I think
it's in the repo's though.

When you start as root it has it's own version of.pdsettings so the
preferences will be different.  To have matching settings between root and
regular user just copy one of the .pdsettings to the other's home folder.

Obviously not an ideal solution (ie dirty hack) but as long as your libs
are in the search path [zexy/limiter~], for example, should always work.

Regards,

Julian
