Why didn't you read the mailing list posting guidelines?  If you had,
you'd surely know that top-posting is not appreciated here.

It does exactly this (but only when the user first logs in, not
before) unless you store your preferences in a database or other prefs
backend.

It works as far as I know.  You haven't given any other information,
so all I can assume is that you are looking at users who have already
logged in once and have had their prefs file created.  If not, then it
is your responsibility to find related errors in your logs as to why
the default_prefs file is not being consulted.
