Hi Dorileo, meanwhile I proved your good guess :) This was a new machine installed by a service provider and I did not at all think about the 'default' config statement. Now changing "default 0" to "default saved" and "savedefault" in entry 2 to "savedefault 0" did the trick. Just like the docs say.
