 * the prefs are read into 5 arrays:
 * 	 $data the effective prefs used everywhere in phpgw, they are merged from the other 3 arrays
 * 	 $user the stored user prefs, only used for manipulating and storeing the user prefs
 *   $group the stored prefs of users primary groupd, only used for manipulating and storeing the user prefs
 * 	 $default the default preferences, always used when the user has no own preference set
 * 	 $forced forced preferences set by the admin, they take precedence over user or default prefs
 *
 * To update the prefs of a certain group, not just the primary group of the user, you have to
 * create a new instance of preferences class, with the given id of the group. This takes into
 * account the offset of DEFAULT_ID, we are using currently for groups (as -1, and -2) are already
 * taken!
