I haven't checked that on my system, but I do know that the "Default" check
mark must be off in order for your new values to be used.  If it is on,
the default screen size set in the Overscan preferences tool is used
(makes sense, no?)  I agree--this seems to be a misfeature.  The tool
should ghost the field when the check mark is set, or reset the check mark
when the field value is not the default.

A small correction in my original reply post:  the "ScreenSize"
preferences tool is really the ScreenMode preferences tool.
