Converesley, I found that on my home machine (running Debian/testing
on ia64), the box _does_ appear, so perhaps this is one of those
"simplifications" that made it into GNOME 2.8... ;-/

You're right that gconf-editors can work around the shortcoming, but
that's a lot less intuitive/easy to find.

Thanks,
