patch

Moving around the character table with arrow keys or PgUp/PgDown causes a disk write for each movement.

This causes needless hard drive activity (wear, battery use on laptops, annoying noise on spinning disks).

The attached patch fixes this, only writing to gsettings on exit.

I'm no gtk/glib expert; there might be a better way of implementing the "on exit" part.  But please please please apply the patch in some form or other.
