bug#34593: 12.1.1; selecting xelatex from command menu does not reset dvips or dvipdfmx switches

[Ikumi Keita]

Hi Jean, sorry for very late reply.

I think that the attached patch will do the job.  However it just resets
the "PDF from DVI" setting and doesn't restore it when you again change
the engine to, say, "default".
Is this what you wanted?  If so, I'll install this change.

Regards,
