Engines list "Command" field is sometimes not retained properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. (optional) Remove ~/.config/pychess for clean config
2. Open pychess's Edit > Engines. The list should just have one entry, 
"PyChess.py". The "Command" field should be empty.
3. Click "New" and pick the attached Ildtiadar2 engine (might also work with 
others)
4. You get a new list entry for Ildtiadar 2. The "Command" field now contains 
"Ildtiadar2".
!! Please note at this point, no list entry is marked. (this might be a bug 
already?)
5. Click now the old "PyChess.py" entry to mark it.
Now, the command will remain "Ildtiadar2". This indicates a mix up of settings. 
(other settings appear to change to PyChess.py-related values though)

It happens for me with the 32bit compile too (attached).

Another possible way I found which breaks the "Command" field for me (or rather 
the list through the "Command" field usage):

1. (optional) Remove ~/.config/pychess for clean config
2. Open pychess's Edit > Engines. The list should have just one entry 
"PyChess.py" or in addition "GNUchess". Mark the "PyChess.py" entry. The 
"command" field should be "(None)" (see image #1)
3. Click command field, pick an unrelated engine (e.g. attached Ildtiadar2). 
(see image #2)
4. When having picked the engine, the list is suddenly very broken. Expected 
beaviour: list is unchanged, "PyChess.py" is present as before and NO new entry 
(e.g. "Ildtiadar2" has been added), and just the command field has a new value 
set to whatever unrelated engine was picked.

(or alternatively, the "PyChess.py" field is renamed to "Ildtiadar2", but not 
added twice as "Ildtiadar2" as seen in the screenshot)

I will now attach two engine.json files:

First one: having starting PyChess and after opening Edit > Engines, but 
*before* adding anything.
Second one: *after* adding Ildtiadar2 as described in the original steps.

I wanted to make a third one after adding Ildtiadar 2, but also after clicking 
on the PyChess.py entry with the wrong "Command" setting. But there was no 
difference to the second one (clicking PyChess.py didn't cause any change), so 
there is no point in uploading it.
