I agree. I find that even after using a new frontend for a couple of
months there are still settings that I need to change. My sons
frontend are more or less the default settings, and he keeps asking
why I have this nice subtitle font while he has an ugly monospaced
font, why his frontend keeps starting from the start of the programs
while mine starts where I stopped watching etc. It could seem that for
_my_ use there are plenty of default settings that are wrong.

I think this idea of cloning is great. And I will probably use that
the next time one of my frontends are up for a reinstall.
