Can't open preferences in 3.0a6

[hey2daein]

very excited to play with 3.0a6!
The first error I encountered is that when I try to open up preferences, it gives me an error.

Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.3, MacbookPro Retina 15inch

Ouch, that's unfortunate. I removed an unused preference late in the release process, but didn't remove it all the way.

Fixed for 3.0a7, which may need to happen really soon.

Thanks.
Meanwhile, I could still adjust the preferences(such as font size) through
Processing 2.2.1 installed on the same machine.
