This is an interesting point that I hadn't tested. The options do work 
-- the state of the dialog is just not restored when the Options menu is 
reentered and so a second trip to Options resets the defaults, unless 
you then change it again. I'm traveling at the moment, so am not able to 
fix it at the moment. The internal architecture may also make it 
slightly tricky to fix.
