      When you
    click on a choice of the Value Menu, the default value _for that choice_
    appears in the widget and a separate docstring for that choice may
    appear, which you may want to read.  You may _only_ have clicked on
    that choice for information purposes.

Regardless of your motive, this is specifying a value.  Users
understand, from using other setup utilities, that if you put in a
different value for an option, and then you say "Save changes", you
change the value.  If you don't want to do that, you had better either
put it back, or exit without saving.

We can help prevent accidents by making "Save new settings" show a
list of options whose values are about to be changed.
