Actually this brings up an interesting problem.  Image at company foo the 
admin set up a bunch of default config's for applications.  Goto the company 
website, use xyz for mail, etc.  Now user Jane in playing around does 
somthing which causes deleteEntry() to be called (The original programer 
never in a million years thought someone would want to not use _his_ default 
and so didn't use the revertEntry() :).  Now the next time Jane starts the 
application it doesn't goto her company website.  She tries hitting the 
default button, but her company "default" doesn't come back.  She is 
frustrated, calls IT.  They come down and manually add the company webpage 
back in (which of course causes the deletion the local config entry sense it 
is now the same as the global one hehe).  Three days later...
