This is a tiny patch, from several years ago:
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379160
I can't imagine this applies cleanly now, and probably no longer
catches all cases, but it's clearly not difficult to do this. The only
real issues are the ongoing battle against preference explosion, and
not having a sensible place in the UI to put the preference.
