+1, but don't you hate it too when, just because you enlarged your web
browser window to see some page, suddenly all your web browser windows start
huge? Or even worse, you have put a wrong combination of options, you
restart the application hoping to get the defaults back, and you realize
that the wrong options have been saved?

Maybe an additional GUI-only option: "automatically save options:
yes/no/ask", plus a save button.
