While the preferences system when running Horde on a Kolab server works
fine most of  the time, it fails when using it together with ingo. The
issues has been around for a while.

The problem is that the preferences driver does not receive a password in
all cases. Ingo for example does not provide a password when calling the
Prefs::singleton method. Using the Prefs/kolab.php driver fails in that
case because the users password is necessary to store values in the LDAP
tree.

The attached patch fixes the problem but I admit that I am not certain at
all if it is a valid fix. I failed to understand the reason why ingo does
not provide a password when creating the preferences instance while other
code segments do that. I assumed there might be a specific reason for
that.
