The file is located at WebContent/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml.  However, the 
project in question began as a simple Java project.  It was subsequently 
upgraded to a Dynamic Web Project manually.

It turns out that I never had the graphical tabs enabled for this specific 
project, but they are visible for projects I created using the Ganymede 
new project wizards, so I started looking at the .classpath and .project 
files.  

I opened the project properties and added the JavaServer Faces facet, and 
now the graphical tabs are visible.  Looking at what got changed, I see 
the new entries shown below.
