This is for the developers ;-)

Let me get back to you on the defaults. On how to set the preferences 
with code, I *think* one has to modify preferences.scm in 
.TeXmacs/system/, and I do not yet know whether it is possible to do 
that through my-init-texmacs.scm

I'll get back here when I have made some progress (unless someone else 
answers first).
