Seems to be - it is in the catalog. Anyway, it is not the question of
returning None or a wrong value - the getters are just not there, when
I try to call, for example:
portal_preferences.getPreferredAccountingTransactionFromDate()
I get an attribute error, while
portal_preferences.default_site_preference.getPreferredAccountingTransactionFromDate()
works as expected.

In my laptop installation everything is fine, the problem is on the
LiveCD station where everything is from CVS.
