Comment 6 for bug 1188686

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
