The Python trace is not expected to record application-level settings.<br>
For some settings, it could possibly be reasonable to record them in a<br>
trace and play them back, but other settings it doesn't make much<br>
sense because they require an application restart, for example, or<br>
only affect aspects of the user interface.<br>
