Some fields were added to the dialog, so the -0.5.diff will not compile
any more because of conflicting identifiers (label248, vbox54 etc.)
The latest .diff I have is for r5484.

But now that 0.20 is out, I'll renumber the fields, this time using
gaps in geany.glade numbering if possible for future compatibility.

I can do such a check, and mail at least the prefs which are obviously
safe, and why. Of course, they must be verifyed by at least one
more developer.
