Ok, I set this variable to 't' and now it saves the faces.  I found no
way of setting this variable from the Options menu, and no indication
that changing faces through Browse Faces followed by Save Options
wouldn't save the face changes.

I recommend that options-save-faces have a default value of 't'.

Why would anyone _not_ want Save Options to do as it says, and save
the options?  I'm confused.

If there _is_ a reason to not want to save the face options, then the
Options menu should have a way to toggle this flag, and the menu item
Options -> Save Options should be changed to:

	Options -> Save Options Except Faces

when options-save-faces is nil.
