The Qube Settings GUI displays information in a misleading way

the Qube Setting GUI is a bit buggy. If I use it to view anon-whonix's default_dispvm on the advanced tab, it claims it's set to the qubes-prefs' default_dispvm, even though it's actually using the value in qvm-prefs anon-whonix default_dispvm. I think there might be a similar issue out there too about the kernel value on this tab.
Also, hitting the drop-down for dispvm only lists default and (none), when I'd expect it to list all templates where template_for_dispvms = true.

You're completely right on the default dispvm thing - hopefully, I've fixed it. Although I'm not sure about the kernel thing - it uses the property_get_default of the current vm for the 'kernel' property, which I think is the desired behavior?

I remembered wrong, I was thinking of the virt mode on that tab: #3517
Kernel is working properly.
