This logic won't fly, I am afraid.  In this case all you do is fix the 
incorrect use of assumed-gamma in the old scenes (because you had an 
incorrectly set display-gamma).  And it would be easier to do in an INI file 
then because you would only have to supply one "old scenes" INI file.

As pointed out, there really should be only one gamma setting, not two.
