In the original implementation, all domains, that were not present at the tool 
startup were later considered as removed by the tool. In my patch, only domains 
removed by the tool are removed from database. But may be I have overlooked 
something in the sources...

For me, the script (that was attached) will show, that the domain will be 
removed after 30 seconds each time it is run. Note, that no other GNUstep 
applications/tools are running while the test.  The defaults are being 
corrupted even now with the locking.

Another idea is to have something like UserDefaults distributed object. The 
problem is, that defaults database management is decentralised and such object 
will make the management easier and will take care about consistency.

What do you think?
