Comment 1 for bug 583109

Did some more testing, and found that some of the settings reported are indeed non-default, but most of them are at their defaults:

/apps/nautilus/desktop/computer_icon_visible=false
/apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible=false
/apps/nautilus/desktop/network_icon_visible=false
/apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible=false
/apps/nautilus/icon_view/default_sort_in_reverse_order=false
/apps/nautilus/icon_view/default_use_manual_layout=false
/apps/nautilus/icon_view/default_use_tighter_layout=false
/apps/nautilus/icon_view/labels_beside_icons=false
/apps/nautilus/list_view/default_column_order=[name,size,type,date_modified,date_accessed,group,where,mime_type,octal_permissions,owner,permissions,selinux_context]
/apps/nautilus/list_view/default_sort_in_reverse_order=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/background_filename=
/apps/nautilus/preferences/background_set=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy=single
/apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_font=FreeSans 9
/apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/exit_with_last_window=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_never=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_x_content_ignore=[x-content/blank-cd,x-content/audio-cdda]
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_x_content_start_app=[x-content/software,x-content/blank-cd,x-content/audio-cdda]
/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_advanced_permissions=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/side_pane_background_filename=
/apps/nautilus/preferences/side_pane_background_set=false
/apps/nautilus/preferences/side_pane_view=
/apps/nautilus/preferences/sidebar_width=100
/desktop/gnome/file_views/show_backup_files=false
/desktop/gnome/file_views/show_hidden_files=false

For example, my font and the fact that I use single-click are rightly shown, but it suggests that hidden files being hidden is not the default.
