I've the same problem with the autocategorizer...
I'm using #initialize but I think that the correct place should be
some "loading" method related to the package. (like
Application>>loaded in VAST).

I'm pretty new to MC, what is the correct way to do that.

In the Monticello Browser there is an "add postscript" but it doesn't
work, there is any way to fix that? Can I add those scripts "by hand"?

PS: Damien, maybe you can refactor this in something like:
initialize
     (DPPreferenceInstaller for: self) value

So you can avoid a lot of copy&paste without subclassification
