How do you generate your boards in the first place? With gsch2pcb, or by 
starting pcb with no file? 

These two ways use different sets of defaults. Unfortunately, the defaults 
used by gsch2pcb are hard coded somewhere in the source. By contrast, pcb 
reads the defaults from its config files in ~/.pcb/settings, or 
~/.pcb/preferences

If you want to improve your work-flow and have pcb set-up to your needs, you 
may first prepare an empty layout with a call of pcb. Then use gsch2pcb to 
populate the empty layout with components via the update mechanism.
