[imp] Problem using hooks

Those preferences are not used directly, but their values are used  
when creating users' identities. This already happens the first time a  
user logs in. So you will only see the hooks being triggered when a  
user is logging in for the first time, or when he creates a new hook.  
Delete the "identities" preference from the backend to rebuild all  
users' identities.
