-
-	* applier.c (applier_apply_prefs): Only draw disabled message
-	if do_preview. Actually, the user will never see this because
-	the correct behavior (which is done) is to assume if they're
-	running capplet, prefs->enable should be TRUE. This is because
-	we are only honoring enable as a hacker-only setting.
-	(output_compat_prefs): Output the correct "Enable" setting.
-
-	* background-properties-capplet.c (get_legacy_settings): Support
-	the "Enabled" flag. 
-
-	* preferences.c (preferences_new_from_bonobo_db): Import the
-	"enabled" flag. Note that this is not bothered with in the _pbag
-	function, because that's from the Proxy settings, which is only
-	used for the GUI capplet, which always sets enabled to True, because
-	this is a hacker-only option. Got it?
