Versions: BOINC Mgr 5.10.45, CPN hadcm3i 5.44, Windows XP, SP2.

Issue: When some Graphics Preferences are changed on the CPN web page, the application does not apply those changes until the computer is rebooted.

Expected behavior: Go to the preferences on the web page. Change Rotation. Go back to BM, click update. The rotation should now be applied.

Why I expected this: 1) After editing the preferences, the web page displays a message saying that the changes will be applied when an update is done or when the application next communicates with the web server; 2) The rollover message on the update button on BM says the same basic thing.

Actual behavior: The rotation is not applied when update is done. It is also not applied when BM is exited and restarted. It is applied when the computer is rebooted.

Affected fields: Rotation is affected. Scene is not. I have not tested other fields.

Why this is important: The more frustrations a volunteer has, the less likely they are to continue to donate their computer time to this project.
