There actually is a bug because you can't save an empty string into the 
config file. Maybe we should surrender strings with double quotes in the 
config file, but I didn't think it was necessary because you cannot 
differentiate either between an empty string and a NULL string in the 
preferences interface. This is why I choosed to save all empty slots in the 
preferences interface as NULL strings.
