Huh? 

Perhaps we're talking about a different thing here...

What I meant by goback button is this:

	◀ ..

Which is displayed as the first item is not the root config item.

This is implemented on this logic, within ConfigItem::updateMenu():

        if (goParent) {
                setPixmap(promptColIdx, list->menuBackPix);
                prompt = "..";
                goto set_prompt;
        }

and it displays this image:

	const char *xpm_menuback[] = {
	"12 12 2 1",
	"  c white",
	". c black",
	"            ",
	" .......... ",
	" .        . ",
	" .     .. . ",
	" .   .... . ",
	" . ...... . ",
	" . ...... . ",
	" .   .... . ",
	" .     .. . ",
	" .        . ",
	" .......... ",
	"            "};

This item is should never be shown on fullMode, because it never 
changes the root item. 

Looking within the code logic, the only place that passes
goParent = true to "new ConfigItem" (thus creating it) is here:

	if (rootEntry != &rootmenu && (mode == singleMode ||
	    (mode == symbolMode && rootEntry->parent != &rootmenu))) {
		item = (ConfigItem *)topLevelItem(0);
		if (!item && mode != symbolMode) {
			item = new ConfigItem(this, 0, true);
			last = item;
		}
	}

(Btw, I almost sent a patch making the "goParent" parameter explict
when creating ConfigItem)

So, even before this patch, the goback button is only displayed on
singleMode and symbolMode (with is one of the internal representations
for the split mode).

This patch should solve the split mode case.
