There's definitely no good reason to store the visibilities in GConf. That'
s a bit of weirdness that crept in that I should have prevented when 
talking with Ramiro about this design in the first place. I can't even 
make a strong argument for having the visibilities in a data file rather 
than a table inside Nautilus code. In effect, they're already in a table, 
just a table that's used to populate GConf settings that are then never 
changed.
