Nautilus opens a new window for every directory, this rapidly gets

Nautilus to open a new directory/folder in the *same* window?
(Windows can do it, when using XP I always have this option set)
No. Not as far as I can tell. Even when delving into the depths of the
(mostly undomcumented) hideosity that is gconf.
When using the File - Open Location option nautilus defaults the
location to the home directory *and* selects it so that it
overwrites what's in the clipboard. This is *intensely* annoying
if you have just carefully selected the directory you want to go
to (in another window) and have put it in the copy buffer already.
Can I turn off the auto-entry of the home directory and/or the
automatic selection of the text?
Also no.
Welcome to GNOME. "our way or the highway" :)
Incidentally, if you want a filemanager that does behave the way you
like (and has some *very* cool features, like proper regex-based
search-and-replace file renaming, or renaming based on audio tags), you
should look at Thunar, which is also gtk-based so has a fairly small
footprint. I use this for preference on whatever desktop env I run.
