For example, on MacOS X, I always set
apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=false
, to have the menu stick to IDEA main window, and not to the whole screen.
Before using the DevKit plugin, I would duplicate the entire IDEA bundle, and change this property in the info.plist file.

In the 2nd IDEA instance, I would also change a few settings:
- working dir
- plugin dir (no longer required, with DevKit)
Changing the working dir is useful too.
