Yo; I just installed Fedora 2 a couple weeks ago (Former Mandrake/SuSE/Debian tinkerer... fairly new to Linux in general), and have been trying to give the default Windows95/Old Mac OS spread-out method of Nautilus's windows a chance... and am about to blow over the top. I find myself running "nautilus --browser"more and more often...
*How do I get Nautilus to run in browser mode by default, like it used to?* (The last version of RedHat I used was 8.0... and it was fine in this respect.) Do people really like the spread-out method that much? Or did RedHat make an executive decision... isn't this a community project? Bla. Just in case you hadn't got it, the Explorer-98 style (Side pane, address bar, navigation buttons) was an ADVANCEMENT over the Explorer-95 style, IMHO (Yes yes, I'm assuming that Microsoft was the first to make file managers act like web browsers, but I could be wrong, after all, have they ever inovated before?).
Thanx, ES

Thankyou! Now I feel like I'm using a *real* operating system again ;-). Forgive me for my ranting, but I was becoming quite frustrated. While we're on configuring gnome... is there a way to, for example, set nautilus to use the flat-blue icons, but the rest of the system to use bluecurve? Sounds odd, but I like the bluecurve icons in everything... except their folder and file icons that pop up in Nautilus.
cheerio,
ES
