Plugin Development - Settings - Help needed

[birdman]

So I'd really like to know how to remove the setting all together.

Just remove all references to it from your code (the fact that it still exists in settings isn't an issue at this point).
Then stop enigma2 (init 4), edit /etc/enigma2/settings with a Unix text editor and remove the line, then restart enigma2 (init 3).

Since it's only you who has the setting, don't over-complicate its removal by trying to write code to do it.

Ahh, I've seen that init 4 command used elsewhere, but didn't know what that did. I will try this and let you know how I get on.

Thanks

It changes the run state of the init process (pid 1 - the one which started everything up).
If you look in /etc/inittab you'll see that enigma2 is set to run in state 3 (and set to be restarted - which is why you can't just kill the process).
So changing the run level to 4 gets the init process to stop it. Changing it back to 3 gets it started up again.
