Oups, I hadn't thought of this side effect. The configuration wizard is the
only place where the user learns about where its settings will be stored.
That's why I enabled it even in --no-gui where settings are now also used. 
On the other hand the only real configuration that this wizard currently
proposes is whether to show the news window, which is not relevant in
--no-gui mode. 
I'll disable the wizard, until we find another solution (e.g. a --no-wizard
flag).
