IMO the startup flags like this should *not* be saved or be added to the existing settings when saving. They should only act as overrides to the settings. This is true for a number of flags such as -path for which I have a fix on Github: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153

Setting the -verbose flag adds it to the startup flags and if you *save* the settings the flag is saved as well
In fact, on Linux at least, you don't even need to *save* the settings: clicking "Apply" or "OK" buttons of Path and Startup dialogs "auto"-saves (all) the settings.
to pd-devs: if this is intended, maybe:
- Audio and Midi could do as well, instead of their current "Save all
settings" buttons
- "Preferences/Save all Preferences" menu entry could be removed.
