I don't think that is going to quite do what you want, since it is only
capturing settings you have customized. If you like the old defaults and
want to protect yourself from defaults changing underneath you, you
probably have to dump and load the defaults database before doing that,
to convert all defaults into settings in your personal database. Be
careful to dump your customizations first though, to not loose them.
