The first thing I do with a new install, or new userid, is to change 
Nautilus so that it gives a list instead of icons, does not open a new 
window with every click, but goes to the new directory in the current 
window. Show tree instead of places on the left, and give me <shift-Del>.

Perhaps I am an oldtimer. On my few XP systems, the first thing I do 
there is change to the 'classic view'.

I also miss a feature I have on my Centos 5 systems: I can right click 
on the desktop and hit 't' to open a terminal window. I don't have to 
put a terminal window laucher on the panel if I don't want to. I need 
LOTS of terminal windows to make it through the day....
