It was previously configurable as GConf key.

The Gnome bog-standard answer "Configurable as a GConf key" translates
to "not user configurable" for most end users.

Whereas, a tick-box in the Nautilus preferences control panel could do
the same thing with minimal pain.

It seems silly to put all the code in to modify the window behavior, and
look-and-feel, and not go the extra 10% to write a means to configure
it.

Gconfig-editor is not even pulled in for default installations. This would make setting the toggles a little bit less user configurable.

I re-installed FC5T2 on a computer and did note that at least gnome-screensaver can be toggled off and does not need removed post-install.

In fairness, the program does work a little and seems somewhat basic. If you like bare-bones type of applications. Reconfigurability is of course less than desirable. (All, blank, one or none.)
