There is IMHO a way to do this without having to edit the config files.  Just
simply setting an overriding flag for the global configuration which should be
honored (hint: defined by style guide) by all apps when intially loading their
config files, allows you to make one setting, i.e. the global one, stick
everywhere.  This will also allow us to make everything consistent by simple
setting these flags and letting people customize them as they need.  Of course
you can always get around this by manually editing the config-files as well.
