I registered a boolean preference and it worked.
However, when I try and follow the same process with a uint it fails
when I try and edit the preference and 'apply' the change. The message I
get is;
"The value for "xxxxxxTitle" isn't a valid number."

The code I am using is given below, along with the edit I tried on
preferences.
Should I be editing the preferences file by hand to add in the variable.
No, there should never be any need to edit the preferences file by hand.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

static gboolean prefTick;
static guint prefVer;
prefTick=TRUE;
prefVer=123;
prefs_register_bool_preference(foo_module,"tick","TickTitle","TickDescription",&prefTick);
prefs_register_uint_preference(foo_module,"xxxxxx","xxxxxxTitle","xxxxxxDescription",BASE_DEC,&prefVer);
The 'base' field in 'prefs_register_uint_preference()' is the base used
by 'strtoul()' when converting the string "123" into an unsigned
integer. Don't use BASE_DEC (whose value is 1) here but rather 0 or 10
if you want to input a decimal number.
I just checked in a change to README.developer to explain what this
parameter should be.
