The variable preferred_console is used only inside register_console()

This loses the index of the preferred console.
I'm not sure this is better.

That index is not used anywhere. I believe the patch makes things clear.

Well, with this change the name and its use
is a bit misleading. Maybe changing it to
something like use_selected_console is better.

Thank you. I will fix this in the next version.
