Or, as another option, we can remove automatic saving of preferences when closing.
I second that.
As preferences are saved immediately after Preferences dialog is closed, this option wouldn't do any harm. Or would it?
If you think about not saving the configuration at all... The recent files/projects, the current project name, and (depending on the options) the file list still need to be saved. Which is easy to do, but won't solve the race condition.
(BTW, I thought that the Apply button in the Preferences dialog only applies the options temporarily, but it saves them.)
