This is the preference that holds external calendars:

// store the external calendars to display
$_prefs['display_external_cals'] = array(
     'value' => 'a:0:{}',
     'locked' => false,
     'shared' => false,
     'type' => 'implicit'
);

It does not and should not show up in the UI (thus the implicit type;  
types are documented in horde/config/prefs.php.dist) because it saves  
the state of the panel checkboxes, nothing more.

The relationship to upgrading is that if you upgraded and didn't  
update prefs.php from prefs.php.dist, you won't have this preference  
and it won't be saved to the db. From horde/docs/UPGRADING:

"After updating to a newer Horde version, or a newer version of **any** Horde
application, you **always** need to update **all** configuration files."
