I have not looks at the data more seriously than that. These prefs mean 
that people have changed the default (which may be platform-dependant).

I have no number in  mind. I am just saying that we should look at them 
and see whether changing the default may be useful. Often, our defaults 
have been kept by laziness.

In other cases like screen_font_size, no value has actually been 
changed; there is a rounding issue in our tests as far as I can see. I 
would be very glad to remove this pref actually.

For your enjoyment, here are more details below (as you see I removed 
some not relevant prefs.
