It seemed that the upgrade from 2.29.2 to 2.29.5 had made the "Mandatory 
GConf settings" and "Default GConf settings" disappear from the details 
pane, but it turns out that they were only hiding somewhere in the 
middle of the list of files.  It seems that the code isn't forcing them 
to be at the top of the list.  I am however seeing "Web browser 
{bookmarks,preferences,profile}" at the top of the list.

Perhaps we should force order of saved items in the details pane, 
something like:

GConf stuff
Web browser stuff
Files/Directories/Symlinks, etc.

Then Files/Directories/Symlinks could be made easier to read by sorting 
the listing alphabetically, and perhaps including icons for "File" 
"Directory" and "Symlink" on the left so you very obviously know what 
you are looking at.

I'll file bugs and work on patches for this.
