IMNSHO any differences between IDE and engine defaults should be a 
preference option or it's a bug.

The whole point of using an xTalk is to minimize the differences between 
runtime and development.

If the team saw fit to make PNG the default, it should be the default in 
both environments.

If they don't feel strongly enough that it should be the default, it 
should be a preference option.
