Bug Description

Latest branch of cable compiles successfully, but fails to run. This is the full error message:

The dconf values seem to become corrupted during using Cable

You could try to detect invalid settings and reset them

An example how the dconf values look when Cable refuses to start:

channels: ['irc.freenode.net:alexanderW3:#elementary-de', 'irc.freenode.net:alexanderW:#elementary']

favorites: []
indentities: ['alexander:Alexander Wilms:Bye.', 'alexanderW3:alexanderW3:Auf Wiedersehen.', 'alexanderW:alexanderW:Auf Wiedersehen.']
networks: ['irc.freenode.net:Freenode:', 'irc.gimp.org:GimpNet:', 'irc.fu-berlin.de:IRCnet:', 'irc.quakenet.org:QuakeNet:', 'irc.efnet.nl:EFnet:', 'undernet.org:Undernet:', 'irc.rizon.net:Rizon:', 'c.ustream.tv:Ustream:']

Maybe the overlapping identitities are the cause
