Hi, Stephane, and all,

Okay, I've made a careful pass through all the entries in the 
Parameters dictionary in a standard image, and found that all but 
*three* of the entries are legitimate and in active current use.

The three superfluous entries are the two mentioned earlier, 
#Prevailing and #PersonalPreferences, plus a third item, 
#systemLanguage, which formerly was a system-wide parameter, but is 
now separately maintained for each individual project, and hence now 
stored as a project-parameter instead of a system-wide parameter.

The attached change-set, which subsumes the earlier fix, removes all 
three of the superfluous entries in Parameters.

It was very helpful in tracking these down to have a command in the 
menu of the key-list-pane of a dictionary inspector for querying 
"senders of this key" whenever the key is a symbol, so this 
change-set adds that, as well as adding a stay-up item for the menu.

Cheers,

   -- Scott
