------------

--
Errors in preferences preceding "gui.console_open" are not immediately
displayed in the console:  If a gui.console_open is set to "AUTOMATIC" or
"ALWAYS" and an error or warning occurs in a preference previous to it, the
warning is not displayed in the console window because the window is not yet
open. However, if the user switches to another profile and returns, the
messages will be displayed.

The problem can be easily reproduced by editing he preferences file and placing
a syntax error in one of the prefs before "gui.console_open", start Wireshark,
and/or select that profile.   

Fix: Move the gui.console_open to the top of the list in
prefs_register_modules() of prefs.c. Existing preferences files can be
corrected by saving them.
