Quality squelching settings not saved when game is exited

[pampl]

On exiting and restarting the game, all the quality squelch settings are reset back to no squelching. Even loading the pref file doesn't restore quality squelch settings. Flavor squelching is remembered correctly, though.

I cannot reproduce this. My quality squelch settings are preserved on save/load.

Myshkin can't reproduce it either - closing as a local problem. Please attach a savefile if you want to re-open this.

My quality squelch settings aren't saved either, and fizzix reports the same problem. I'm playing the nightlies on Windows 7. Reopening.

The Original bug doesn't say, but squelching is part of the saved character.
It should not be in the pref file, nor generic settings.

The main reason for this is that a high level character will be squelching nearly everything (except say artifacts), but when you die and restart, you want the new character to be squelching nothing.

The problem appears to be windows only. Characters do not retain quality squelch settings on save/reload in Windows.

According to #784, this was a deliberate change in [r635e36c]. But something is obviously awry with the Windows pref handling, or something.
