My apologies, I should have mentioned it, but right clicking and going via the menu gives the same result. I only get a Nautilus window without the side pane and no option in the menu (side pane) to bring it back. I have gone through the manual and browsed the archive but can find a reference to my problem. When looking/searching in the ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus directory I noticed a directory called sidebar_panels/ . The %gconf.xml file in it is empty (0 bytes). I guess this has something to do with it, but I don know what to put in it to make the sidepanel reappear. Can anybody (who has and is using a sidebar) tell me what is in his/her &gconf.xml file so that I can test if that would help. Otherwise I would like to know if I can safely uninstall Nautilus and reinstall it again with the guarantee i will have my panel back. PS : Reason for sliding the panel away under FC1 was because it was easy to use the browse buttons on top of the screen. I know that I can still do that in the current Nautilus setup, but I guess they have changed the default way of working for a reason (many users seem to like it after giving it a serious try). I just would like to be able to give it a try as well...
