Preference value name, to be precise, in this case:

	/*
	 * Register a preference with an enumerated value.
	 */
	typedef struct {
		const char	*name;
		const char	*description;
		gint		value;
	} enum_val_t;

"name" is what's stored in the preferences file as the value; it  
should have neither capital letters nor spaces in it, e.g.  
"ismacrypt_1.1".

"description" is what shows up in the UI; it can have any printable  
ASCII characters in it.
