<html><body> <DIV>Dan,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks. I had seen the 'spatial nautilus' issue/flames. I am on the other side on this one ;) , but it really shouldn't matter. It whatever you happen to be used to.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A bigger issue for me is the (for me) byzantine way that the directories/menu entries/etc are set up and managed. Probably because of my Windows background, the Explorer way seems very clear about who sees what in this respect. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Your link to the sys-admin-guide is very useful and I will use Chapter 2 to try and figure it out. Gnome could have made it easier to find instructions for a user without putting the information in a developer's guide. Then again, the developers are so busy with this massive package that I am grateful they put it anywhere.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is probably very straightforward once you have done it a dozen times.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Again, thanks!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dave Hopkins</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR><BR>> On Sat, 2005-01-15 at 17:57 -0500, Dave Hopkins wrote: <BR>> > Okay, this is OT, but ... after upgrading to 4.1, double clicking the <BR>> > home folder opens Nautilus in some reduced view (just icons, no address <BR>> > bar, ...).
