Grid2

37 - Bar-heals and Bar-health should share the same orientation by default

What the title says. At least, if the intent is to make the configuration a bit more friendly to more people, I think the configuration would feel more intuitive if changing the orientation of one also changes the orientation of the other by default. I guess you could allow a setting to override this, though honestly I can't imagine why anybody would want to.

In fact, it might be a good idea to implement some kind of mini-framework whereas related indicators who share similar properties to one another can share just one setting by default, that way when somebody installs a plugin, it can mesh well with their existing settings rather than look off until specifically configured.

Say for example if somebody were to create Grid2ManaBars (I know, a controversial idea - but bear with me) it would be nice if it could automatically orient itself based on the setting found in bar-health, and changing this setting would automatically change the setting found in Grid2ManaBars, or vice versa. Again, unless otherwise specified (e.g. put a check mark in there that says "Share this setting with status: blah" or something similar, unchecking it would unlink these settings.)
