The client configuration parsing always uses the first matching option
so there are no overrides for things set in the global config. This is
intentional: as a matter of policy, the master configuration file
should be able to set options that can't be overridden.

Perhaps there should be some way for it to provide default options when
none are set in any per-user file too. I'll change this bug to an
enhancement request for this (I'm not convinced of the merits of this
idea, but it should be tracked).
