Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Warnings when loading preferences

Hi.

After upgrading my local wireshark to latest trunk I get some warnings
from my preferences.
I suspect someone rewrote the preference format without handling /
converting old values?

The user should not loose the preferences when upgrading, just because
we changed the format.
