[Bug 1244493] [NEW] Software Center doesn't save settings on Saucy

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Certain settings will be reset for some odd reason whenever I quit the Software Center. Here's the main two areas where I notice this issue, both accessible under "View" in the global menu:
1) Attempting to toggle on or off the option "New Applications in Launcher", regardless of what it's set to upon an exit and repopening of the Software Center it's set back to the default option of a check, meaning it will show new applications in the launcher regardless of what the user has set it to.
2) Attempting to select the option "Turn on Recommendations..."  will also alow me to turn them on, but upon closing and opening up the Software Center again, I have to re-enable recommendations if I want them

Running Ubuntu 13.10 Suacy with all the latest updates, with the latest
version of the Software Center (13.10). Yes I have proposed updates
enabled, but this may have happened at first with the original package
in Saucy as well. Regardless, these are official packages and this is a
usability bug in need of a fix. The settings don't save (I remember they
saved in previous Ubuntu versions) but they no longer do. Obviously,
these settings should save somewhere for a consistent experience.
