**System Information**
Operating system and graphics card
Ubuntu 14.04 with ATI graphics card running Ubuntu native driver
**Blender Version**
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
Worked: (optional)
**Version 2.70 ba1acac**
From: http://ppa.launchpad.net/irie/blender/ubuntu
**Short description of error**
With "Load UI" unchecked (OFF), when loading "New" the existing UI is maintained instead of loading my startup UI as in past versions. I typically don't want to load the UI's of every file unless I need to. Hence this is set to OFF. However "New" has always loaded a fresh instance from my startup file (apparently ignoring the "load UI" checkbox setting) which I could start working without closing and restarting Blender. In the current version noted above I must exit Blender and restart it to get my fresh default UI.
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
Uncheck "Load UI" in user preferences, change the UI by dragging a window, then press "New" to reload the startup file. There is no blend file associated with this issue.
