System Information
Mac OS X 10.8.5
Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB

Blender Version
Broken: 2.70 and 2.70a
Worked: 2.69

Short description of error
Blender had the option to launch from the command line with --enable-autoexec for python scripts.
This has proved quite useful in the collaborative environment in which I work.
It was especially useful after the decision to stop allowing python scripts to auto run by default.
Everything worked great in 2.69.
2.70 and 2.70a seem to have lost this functionality.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Launch Blender and open the user preferences.
Make sure that auto-run python scripts is UNCHECKED.
Then launch Blender from the command line with the option --enable-autoexec

Check the user preferences.

The auto-run python scripts box should be CHECKED, but it is not as of 2.70 and 2.70a
This used to work in 2.69.

Thank you for looking into this!
Daniel

Checked this,

Whats happening is intentional.

The user preferences are overridden and ignored, though you can change them and as long as you don't --enable-autoexec or --disable-autoexec, the preferences will be used.

Note, I double checked, and while the UI is not showing it, scripts will execute when --enable-autoexec is passed.
