Description:
I set default-storage-engine=innodb parameter in my.cnf; if I create a new table with mysql-client, without storage engine specifycation, I get an InnoDb table. However when I try to create a table with mysql-administrator it's created with MyISAM storage engine: in fact when I'm defining the table, if I check "Table option" tab in table editor I can recognize by the *description* that MyISAM storage engine is set as default (the combo box with the name of storage engine is empty... and so is the list where to choose the engine from, but if I click on the list I can see the storage engine description change! ).
I faced this problem also in mysql-administrator 1.1.6 on Fedora Core 5. On this version "table option" tab layout is quite different but the default storage engine is still MyISAM and you have to manually change it before creating te table if you wanto to get an InnoDB table.
MySQL server version: MySQL-max 5.0.22
InnoDB is enabled (skip-innodb option not set)

How to repeat:
Set default-storage-engine=innodb in my.cnf (either editing it directly or by mean of mysq-administrator), restart the server, then using mysql-administrator try to create a new table, without changing the storage engine in "table option" tab of Table editor. Check if the new table is an InnoDb or MyISAM table
