The default seems to be always to show the list, but I was naming something by the GUI preference options, that I hadn't (yet) found in the preferences configuration file. Toggling the setting, then checking the configuration file for changes, reveals this section, at the end of the file: <pref name='docklet'> <pref name='blink' type='bool' value='1'/> <pref name='show' type='string' value='never'/> <pref name='x11'> <pref name='embedded' type='bool' value='0'/> </pref> </pref> -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
