Yes, this is a follow-up error to some INI file parsing warning or error
(scroll up in the message window) because if you specified a non-existing
INI file or an incorrect command-line, POV-Ray will ignore all settings and
use the built-in defaults for everything (it should stop, but beta 4 doesn't
do that yet).  If it did eat the command-line (that is, it issued no errors
or warnings), then the command-line/INI file settings that did exist will
override the corresponding dialog settings.
