settings is loaded before anything else; it overrides the compiled-in
defaults.

The GUI then applies its own changes, either through a database (gtk
uses preferences) or the command line (lesstif and scripts honor
X11-style options) or elsewhere (lesstif implicitly uses ~/.Xdefaults,
for example).

The last thing pcb does on exit is write out settings, so it has the
new defaults for the next run.  Or, at least, the ones that differ
from the compiled-in ones.

Note that defaults for settings are NOT always the "current value" for
settings.  Thus, changing paper sizes in a print dialog will not
change the default paper size; that changes a value, not a default.
Changing the paper size in a preferences dialog (assuming one exists)
would change the default.
