If you want to indicate pages with errors in the options, then do so in 
the tree.

Either highlight/color the tree nodes. Or add a top-level node "Faulty 
Settings" (only shown, if child-nodes)
I am for the highlight/color.

Also, a better Idea is to have setting-modes: Normal / Advanced
Then in normal, there would be less settings.

It may also be an option, to call the setup dlg, from the menu ...
