Actually, the values in xar_config_vars are serialized, and N; means
the NULL value, not some short-hand for No or something like that :-)

So the value should be b:1; (binary) or i:1; (integer) or s:1:"1"; (string)
or anything else that evaluates to "true".

The checkbox will then be selected (and short URLs work), but if
you update the base config again later, the value will be NULL again
- definitely a bug.
