Postscript output

When you create a postscript document it always defaults to offsets of
0.5 millimeters and measurements in metric. If I change these factors to
zero offsets and inches then Gimp retains these for the session but each
new session starts again with the original defaults.
Once upon a time I patched some source code to fix the above defaults to
something more sensible for my use but this is a bore to do for each
successive version of Gimp. Is there a way to get Gimp to save these
particular defaults from session to session? The metric vs. inch choice
is of course a matter of nationality but the offsets simply have no
purpose that I can see.
Is there not a button which says print and save?

Yes but on the next run and the next document I must eliminate the offsets and
change the default measure to inches, and the next session the same and on
and on....
I want the PostScript offset setups to default to zero, or alternatively a way
to store my prference for offsets, not just for the current document but for
any document. The default offsets of 0.5 cm are hard coded in Gimp. As I
said before I have tracked down the code and changed that program module in
the past. But each new release I would have to do the same thing. And Gimp
compiles are very lengthy. I just ask for someone to change the code in the
repository one time.
As for inches versus metric I can change that in the lower left hand corner of
an image window and that setting continues for the session. But the
PostScript output routine ignores that setting and always defaults to cm.
