Details:
Octave installs a default qt-settings file when it first starts up that
contains some default values for all preferences.
Let's forget that for a moment, and imagine that the settings file is empty,
or is missing some specific setting.
Both the code for the Preferences dialog and the portion of the GUI that use
the setting read this setting and have fallback default values for when the
setting is missing.
In some cases these values are out of sync. For example, if
"web/allow_web_connection" is deleted from settings file, the Preferences
dialog appears as if the option is disabled. However selecting the Community
News menu item shows that it behaves as if it were enabled by default.
There may be more, I will try to do an audit of all the settings values and
see where the defaults are mismatched between the Preferences dialog and where
the setting is actually used.
