Yes, it works. I was trying to replicate the functionality of the
minoredit checkbox (read from preference the first time, keeps the
user-selected value after that), so I was only looking at that. I now
set the initial value during importFormData, that's probably the right
place to do so.

It works, thanks for the suggestion.

Well, for now I will just replicate the method, it's quite short and
the modification is easy.
@Platonides: the ".wymupdate" selector is hardcoded into WYMeditor. I
prefer to leave WYMeditor untouched, so that I/users can use another
version, custom plugins, etc.

Thanks for your answers
