No. For the following, assume that the default placement is 'tbp'. There should be a distinction between specifying "I want to use the default placement, even if I change it", and "I want to use 'tbp' placement, even if I change the default placement". A possible improvement to my patch is that when the "default" button is selected, it sets the values of the other checkboxes according to the default placement, and then disable the other buttons. When the "default" button is deselected, the other buttons are enabled.
