Why am I getting the error message forgets setting for show message count and show contact picture (in convo) when switching between skins?

Handcent sms - forgets setting for "show message count" and "show contact picture (in convo)"

This happens when switching between skins...

There may be other settings i havent noticed yet, but it remembers my other customs like the dot color to indicate new messages, my sounds, my icon choices.... but why do these few settings revert?? I thought i just had to change it for the new skin, but i tried going back to what i was using, and had to change them back there too.....
