Where/How do I tell Fedora (Gnome 3) once and for all to show 
hidden files? Unless I command otherwise, I always want to see them; but 
the file manager seems to ignore the fact that I have that option checked.

[agagne@dw-agagne ~]$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files true
[agagne@dw-agagne ~]$ gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files
true
