No. If you have something like this it should keep what you changed, unless
you select an extra option "Go back to defaults".

However, given my track record WRT editorial changes to foundation
documents, people ought to be examining this draft  _before_ the vote rather
than afterwards :) <87d5byftj1.fsf at glaurung.internal.golden-gryphon.com>



I would tend to disagree with this, it annoys me to have a bit of kit where
changes can't be undone without setting the entire device back to defaults.
Consider for example, if changing the screensaver on your windows pc
required you to reset the install back to defaults/re-install windows just
to put the screen saver back to how it was before!

If you push a switch down to turn on a light, shouldn't you be able to turn
off the light by lifting the switch up???
