#5 icemc-1.9 corrupts TaskBarShowWindowListMenu

[Thomas Zajic]

Due to inexact string matching, icemc-1.9 corrupts the "TaskBarShowWindowListMenu" setting in ~/.icewm/preferences, and overwrites it with the "ShowWindowList" setting, which then ends up in the preferences file twice:

ShowWindowList = 1 # 0/1

The enclosed patch is only an incomplete quick-fix for this problem - it takes care of all cases where the strings to be matched differ at the _beginning_ (ie. "ShowWindowList" vs. "TaskBarShowWindowListMenu"), but it would fail in all cases where strings differ at the _end_ (ie. "ShowWindowList" vs. "ShowWindowListSomewhereElse").
