Bug #3056	Key buffer value not updated on change in Memory health tab

Description:
Changing the value of key_buffer_size with SET GLOBAL key_buffer_size=xxx on the server isn't reflected in the Memory Health tab of mysql-administrator. Issuing a refresh on the tab doesn't change the value either (variable values cached at startup?).

After updating key_buffer_size from 8M to 256M key buffer usage started rising steadily but key buffer size still reports 8M, so now I'm using 256M/8M. Closing mysql-administrator and restarting it fixes the issue. 

How to repeat:
Update key_buffer_size on server while mysql-administrator is up & running, buffer size does not changed in Memory Health tab, though usage does.
