Modes are _not_ great. They give the illusion of being good, in that
normal users get set of preferences, and advanced users get a different
set of preferences, but UI testing with nautilus when it had modes
showed (IIRC) that everyone tended to just use the advanced setting (so
they didn't miss out on some features). With that in mind, modes just
clutter up the UI.
