It'll remember the last setting you used (iirc, it saves it when you
close the window), so just open 1 window, change the setting, then close
again and it should all be good from there on.

I'm trying to keep the main options dialog for things that apply to the
main window, or multiple windows these days. Auto-indent on/off seems
more likely to be toggled on a per window basis than one's preference
for tabs sizes etc.

I do hope to overhaul all the settings code next cycle though...
