[PD] How to get off verbose mode?

[Dan Wilcox]

IMO the startup flags like this should *not* be saved or be added to the existing settings when saving. They should only act as overrides to the settings. This is true for a number of flags such as -path for which I have a fix on Github: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153
