I agree this would be the best outcome.

I don't think I am ready to work on doing that right now, but I'll keep it
in mind as a future project.

For the shared settings I think there also needs to be a way to make app
specific settings in addition to the generic ones.

Some people have complained in the recent past about games starting in
full screen and causing problems. For ogre based games the defaults could
be set to avoid this using the hypothetical arrangement above.

This also sounds like something that is likely to be desired in upstream
ogre, depending on the exact implementation.
