This is a ClassAct property, indeed many things are going on when calling
the prefs window, that is why it may seem slow to some people.

Better yet: you only have to copy the icon and add two different tooltypes
in both: CONFIG=aweb.prefs for the first and CONFIG=your_alternate.prefs for
the other.

You can also start AWeb with a different preferences file from the shell:
AWeb CONFIG your.prefs.

When altering the prefs and saving it will update the one you started with.

It's all in the manual :)
