Not really, Draw is simpler then it may seem at first, and very useful.  But
there may be situations in which this Save event can be useful for scenes,
like when Blender is used as a command-line tool without direct user
intervention.

After 2.34 cvs will be free for new feature commits, then we can add it,
thanks.

Ah, the new Properties methods and submodule can probably help you here.
Joseph Gilbert wrapped them recently for bpython: blender properties can be
added/removed/edited and are saved automatically in the .blend file.  If you
don't have a version of the ref guide with them, api2_2x/doc/Object.py has
the info you will need.  In the interface object properties are at the Logic
Buttons win -- the purple pacman icon, key F4.

Did you try with an official Blender 2.33a or another version?
