Sounds ok, but please use the default xpram file location if the new
property is not found in the prefs file.

If no property is specified in the prefs file the 2nd, 3rd, 4th
instance could use a copy in ram of the original xpram file. The
changes wouldn't be saved to the original xpram file but at least you
would be able to launch more instances without changing any file.
