Yes, disabled becomes hidden effectively. That is *current* behaviour on all systems as far as I can tell, so I'm not introducing anything new, to make that clear.
I explicitly want to change this for GTK+ because it is wrong behaviour.

As far as I know, OS X and KDE are the only platforms doing this (I'll ignore Maemo). I don't know the exact guideline, I didn't find clear documentation about it but for example the web page context menu on OS X does it and editor popups I saw in KDE.
That said, Lubos or anyone else, please correct me if my observation is wrong, I'll adapt the patch accordingly.

I updated the patch and attached a second one to get ird of UpdateApplicationSettings which for no good reason tries to flip the same switch in a very misleading way.

ciao,
