Ok, so run gconf-editor and it will be there.

DConf is the configuration system replacing GConf.  Not everything has
migrated yet.  Fedora is bleeding edge so I thought the gedit there
might have already moved over.  Most GNOME stuff is rapidly moving from
the old GConf to the newer DConf.  Until everything is moved you need to
look in one and then the other [if it isn't in the first; always check
DConf first as old settings may linger (ignored) in GConf once the
application moves to DConf].
