Yes, once I realized I hadn't selected gconf-editor for installation,
installed it with yum, found my way through the XML tree, and checked
the box, browser mode is now default on my FC6T3 system.
However, I think it is a serious omission to not have this as a
selection in the nautilus Edit > Preferences > Behavior tab as it is in
FC5 and as I believe it was in FC6T2 - too late to check since I
overwrote it with FC6T3.
The first harm this omission will cause is create another round of
argument about spatial mode being forced on people who do not like it. I
do like spatial mode for some uses, but after using it as default for
more than a year, I recently decided that browser mode was more useful
to me.
Do I need to report this as a bug against nautilus?
Thanks.
