I think this is against the Gnome HIG or at least the philosophy, as
then the user is clueless as to how to enable that dialog again should
they find it useful in the future or have accidentally checked it.
Although, one could argue that is only because it isn't a technique
used often, and you could use a central gconf folder to collect these
binary checkboxes, with symlinks to appropriate application folders,
to aggregate this.
