Thomas: Why not build an alias in your .bash_profile that resets the defaults you like? I do this with my Litetalk which is in need of some help from a soldering iron. When it loses its mind I simply power cycle and give it my single char alias command. I used the letter s, but I tell you that mainly to suggest it can be a very short, and therefore quick, command.
