Build Identifier: egit 1.2

Under some conditions egit does not show any configuration values for "System settings" in the preferences (and the location is displayed as "Unknown").

It is still possible to create and afterwards edit config entries. When saving the preferences, a NPE happens (trying to write to the non existing location).

Suggestion: Disable "New entry..." button if config can't be read.
