[Gnash-commit] [bug #40487] "verbosity" != 0 in .gnashrc prevents commandline override

[Nutchanon Wetchasit]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #40487 (project gnash):

Still reproducible under current git Gnash version; when non-zero verbosity
is set via Edit > Preferences, `-v` specified on command line are ignored
no matter it have a higher verbosity or not.

I have thought of two ways to resolve this; either...

* A quick and dirty way: just allow command line `-v`/`--verbose` option to
*_raise_ verbosity* from the one set in `.gnashrc`. This one can actually be
fixed using a one-line patch. Or...
* An ideal way: make command line option always *_override_ verbosity* set
from `.gnashrc`. This one is slightly complicated, as...
** Currently, Gnash reads verbosity from the command line

_before_ checking .gnashrc

** There should be a way to override verbosity _to zero_; a `-q`,`--quiet`
option, maybe?
