I can't find it either Herb.  Wouldn't it be nice if there was
something like the 'about:config' file that's in Firefox?"  I recently
put that to good use in Sidux because iceweasel 3.0.6 (as used in
Sidux) comes with a single 'X' at the upper right to close browser tabs
and I want an 'X' on each tab.  Google found it for me in short order
but google didn't help me at all with configuring Gedit.
