[hva <francesco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the included patch solves bug #488717
It was due to an unhandled exception in case of invalid or empty config.xml preferences file.
Now in the case the config.xml can't be correctly parsed (invalid, broken or empty)  file is re-created using default values

the bug is fixed in my branch too:
