To be honest, this aspect of gnome has always annoyed me.   A number of 
times I've found functionality that was useful to me suddenly disappear, 
because it was 'too complex'.   Who knows, maybe the functionality is 
still there, but buried somewhere that I can't find it without reading 
the source.

If you are going to put it in gconf and not in the properties dialog, 
you might as just hardcode it - 99.9% of the users will never change it 
if it isn't in the dialog.    And I *REALLY* don't see how having an 
entry like "Number of previous rolls to display" with a text entry 
widget makes the UI more complicated. Put it on an advanced tab in the 
properties dialog if you really want it hidden away...
