My video settings also don't save - or at least full screen vs. windowed don't save. I have to switch to fullscreen every time I start the game, because it defaults to windowed mode on start up apparently. I haven't played around with the other graphic settings.
After update 6 I am not getting empty wild gourds back, when I eat the wild gourds. I already mentioned that to you but thought I would mention it here, in case anyone else have the same (or even the opposite experience). I tried restarting the game, but that didn't change anything.
