I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution to this issue.  I'm having 
the same problem on my site.  For some reason on the default page, the 
visible setting won't work when set to a property or function result such 
as Visible = '<%# CanAdministerCategories%>' or Visible ='<%# 
GetVisibleSetting() %>'.  It works fine on other pages but for some 
reason it always sets visible to true (even when the variable or function 
result is false) on the default.aspx page. Any ideas?
