Likewise, "Huh?" :)

gnome-core-1.1.5
gnome-applets-1.1.5
gnome-libs-1.0.56
gnomecc-1.0.51 (from control-center-1.0.51)

   + Desktop
     Mime Types
   + Multimedia
   + Peripherals
     Startup Programs
     URL Handlers
   + User Interface

Nothing on Startup Programs about hints. gnome-core and gnome-applets
were rpms I made from the tarballs with rpm -ta, and I haven't mucked
about with settings. Waah! I want to turn hints off!
