I don't immediately see any variable by that name (or similar) in my
old or new prefs. (Maybe that's the problem if it defaults to
value='0' ?)
The default seems to be always to show the list, but I was naming
something by the GUI preference options, that I hadn't (yet) found in
the preferences configuration file.
Toggling the setting, then checking the configuration file for changes,
reveals this section, at the end of the file:
<pref name='docklet'>
<pref name='blink' type='bool' value='1'/>
<pref name='show' type='string' value='never'/>
<pref name='x11'>
<pref name='embedded' type='bool' value='0'/>
</pref>
</pref>
