I've not replaced the clock or compass, so I guess that leaves the UI settings file, which I am loathe to reset because it took forever to get things exactly right in the first place. I'm just going to stay with the hack, thanks.
It does make sense, however, for the last few times I made new characters and told the game to import settings from my main, they "imported" as the default instead. So there is definitely something wrong there.
