Thanks for the pointer. I am going to modify the wikified tutorial at 
this specific step in the work-flow.

It is. The fact, that gsch2pcb uses its own, hard coded set of default 
values for a new layout is a known weakness. The topic was discussed on

query the values from pcb. Yet, nobody stepped up to put this into code, 
yet.
