nvidia settings not saves and applied on setup

I have this problem using nvidia settings for the nvidia driver 295.33-1.  I am trying to tweak gamma levels and varius otehr settings using nvidia control panel.  I save the settings in .nvidia-settings-rc in my home folder, but when I log out the settings are restored to their defaults.
I the following bash script to load the nvidia settings.

#!/bin/bash
nvidia-settings --load-config-only
nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2

However the only way now to apply my selected settings is to open nvidia control center every time I log in.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

NVidia settings work only as root ( for me ), or with sudo, kdesu, gksu, etc... Have you tried this?

Yes I run it as root but with no effect.

Are you running your script after the X server is started?

Yes I have tried using varius methods to load the settings, including kde autostart and by creating a xinitrc file.  Nothin seems to apply the setting other than to manually launch the nvidia server settings.  Then the settings are applied for that session only.

Re: nvidia settings not saves and applied on setup

Run as root?? That's obviously not what's intended - it's saved in $HOME.

How can you expect the setting to take effect, when it's not even present? I see no "pix"-related line in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc . You could ask for it to be included, in the nvidia forum.

Running "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" changes the settings for that session only, that's correct. What's the problem with that?

@brabs I am simply trying to keep the nvidia settings beetween logins.  Right now I have to manually apply the settings that I want every time I log on. Sorry if I did not make myself clear.

Just set yourself up with a login script. Standard procedure.
