[dev] With this prefs.php changes aren't saved. Any ideas?

[Robin Rainton]

OK, so I traced to:

horde/lib/Horde/Prefs.php in Prefs->setValue (around line 235) there is 
a section which reads:

        /* Exit early if this preference is locked or doesn't exist. */
        if (!isset($this->_prefs[$pref]) || $this->isLocked($pref)) {
            return false;
        }

And this is where things get sent back as no update. I dumped the $this 
object and couldn't see the pref below. What I could see was one called 
'sample' (which was there by default) and a caching setting. Weird. 
Caching, eh? So I logged out and logged back in and voila - things began 
to work.

Thus, one should know to logout and back in when changing these prefs 
files. Guess I'd been working on this for a while and hadn't actually 
shutdown browser or logged out for ages!

Appologies for the bother, but this is nice to know, eh?
