Am I correct that, for example, it'd always be "screen" if a user is using 
screen-maintained sessions?

Does each profile contain the complete list of settings?

Let's say that I start out with Setting1 and Setting2 both set to off. The 
profile for Program1 sets Setting1 to on, and the profile for Program2 sets 
Setting2 to on. I run Program1, then Program2, and then Program1 again. Will 
Setting1 and Setting2 now both be on, or does it always reload the defaults 
before applying a profile?

Could you please give an example or two for how an attribute-based cursor is 
defined?
