I have written the preference code so that it should be able to
handle such issues. However, it requires some work from the 
developer, too. I guess I should write down some instructions,
since I don't even remember the exact steps myself ;-) I think
I sent a message about it a long time ago; I will have to search
my mail archive...

I haven't reviewed that code yet (it was kind of "added behind my
back":) When I have looked at the code I will tell you if there 
are any problems.
