Bug#831906: xboard: always loads 1st engine from system conf file, rather than user's ~/.xboardrc

Package: xboard
Version: 4.8.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I wanted to use a different chess engine than the default fairymax
whenever I used xboard.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I modified the system conf file /etc/xboard/xboard.conf
* What was the outcome of this action?
Now it always loads my chosen chess engine first, even if I change the
1st chess engine to something else and then save the configuration

; xboard 4.8 Save Settings file
;
; This file contains the system-wide settings of XBoard, in so far they
; deviate from the compiled-in defaults, and are not settable through menus,
; to comfort users that have no history of xboard usage.
; You can edit the values of options that are already set in this file,
; or add other options that you think are convenient as defaults for all users.
; This file is not automatically overwritten, because it redefines the
; -saveSettingsFile to .xboardrc in the user's home directory, so that
; user settings will be saved in a place the user has write access to.
