As far as I can tell, we've never modifyed the default value for this
GNOME setting we get from upstream/Debian, so whatever change might
have happen in Tails, has been decided upstream or in Debian.
To revert that change in Tails, we'll need a pretty strong reasoning,
that takes into account the reasoning for the reverted change.

Cheers,
