Hi,
I already tested the globalsettings but my first tests showed that the user
can still override global settings.
(docs:  " The settings in the specified file replace the original inline
default ones, but the user profiles’ settings will be set on top of those."
)

So if I set anonymize_new_projects in the global settings to false the user
can still set it to true and the user settings "win".
The startup.py allows me to override unwanted settings during the startup
of QGIS.

What I like about the Init-Scripts is that you can have more structure for
your startup-scripts than with just one startup.py.

regards,
Thomas
