Export solution didn't export all entity properties, e.g. display in the Settings area

Question:
I have a solution that I just created a new entity in. The entity's property is set to display in the Settings area. However when I publish the solution as a managed solution to my test system, the new entity does not show up in the left menu under settings like it does on my development system. If I look at the solution properties in my test system the entity is not checked to display in the Settings area.

What would cause this property to not export/import with the solution? All my other changes appear to have imported and published OK.

Answer:
Looks like the problem was that I was not exporting the Site Map.
