The fact that the setting is in "/magicdev/Options/do_fileman_window"
doesn't mean that we can't create some way to modify it other than through
magicdev. The key is arbitrary.

I'm not sure this is OK when something like magicdev is running. Some of
these things mount the CD automatically. In that case, the window should
show up, right? It's not really "inside Nautilus" or "outside Nautilus",
it's just automatic.

But the broad outlines of what you suggest sound fine.
