Yep. On loading an extension, check whether it has a preferences()
method. If it doesn't, then grey out the Preferences button in the
Extension Manager when that extension is highlighted (or otherwise
disable however you were going to make prefs available). If it does,
then just call thisextension.preferences(). If the extension wants to
create a Gtk window to ask for preferences then it is welcome to do
so. That's what Freesound does (sort of).
