PerfHudMode

I'm trying to implement the 0.6.0.1 performance HUD in my application and so far it works great if I enable it once I'm already up and rendering but I'm having trouble making the setting persistent. When I try to restore the setting at initialization time (after my ovrHmd_Create call) the ovrHmd_SetInt returns true however the setting doesn't stick; the ovrHmd_GetInt call in my code below returns -1:

   
   if (theHMD)
   {
      ovrBool result = ovrHmd_SetInt(theHMD, "PerfHudMode", mode);
      if (!result)
      {
         std::cout << "Can't set performance HUD" << std::endl;
      }
      else
      {
         int newValue = ovrHmd_GetInt(theHMD, "PerfHudMode", -1);
         if (newValue != mode)
         {
            std::cout << "setPerformanceHUDMode didn't take " << std::endl;
         }
      }
   }

It seems like there's a bug here; if ovrHmd_SetInt returns true retrieving the value immediately afterwards with ovrHmd_GetInt should work. If for some reason it's too early to set the value than ovrHmd_SetInt should have returned false.

Does anyone know at what point it's safe to enable PerfHudMode?

Thanks,
Jeff
