Comment (by smcv):

 I'm not sure why saving the config fails - I think we've fixed at least a
 couple of bugs that caused that.

 Replying to [comment:13 gdesmott]:

 Yes in principle, although I'd suggest

 if registered == FALSE and got Connection_Status_Reason_Name_In_Use:
   Retry to connect
   if successful:
     set registered to TRUE
   else:
     # FIXME: panic? Should perhaps retry, but with a really long backoff
 time

 This would be a good fix, but Morgan and I just haven't got round to
 implementing it... feel free to implement, I'll review if I can.
