I'm aware of gconf-editor. But saying a user has to go mess with the
keys is pretty much a dumping ground for "we don't actually support
end-user customization of this item".
If you meant for the end-user to use it, it will be in the GUI itself.
Removing it from the UI has taken away a sort of "legitimacy" that
the configuration option has - it's no longer part of the main
desktop.
This isn't horrible. I think that removing the user-facing option
completely from the default desktop - or moving it to "third-party
configuration tweak status" - is a suboptimal idea. This was one
preference that wasn't going to break the bank. [Or maybe I'm
pre-biased. Certainly I have no idea how to "change" the toolbar in
OS X - likely it's not possible. So I can definitely live with it].
