Bug Description

This tab should be renamed "Interface"

Move the pathbar option to gconf. It's directly related to a theme hack and not something most people care about.

Same as above with RGBA.

"Show zoom sliders icons" should be "Show Icons" and should be indented under "Show zoom slider" This should become insensitive if "Show zoom slider" is not checked.

if we start to edit some string from stock nautilus, who's gonna translate all theses strings? (Plus i don't know anything about translation, any help appreciated)

> Tweaks Tab

Tweaks is ok for me, even without going on the tab u already knows the purpose of this tab. It' s a strong word, i think it's ok for this new configuration functionality.

> Remove the GUI options for "Pathbar". If we really need these options, they should exist in gconf, not in the GUI. Same with RGBA.

The main goal of the tweak menu is to easily configure the principal options u might need after the first install without the need of opening the gconf-editor and browsing all the different keys. Pathbar and RGBA options are the first thing you may want to change after the first install or when ever you change your theme.

> "Toolbar Orientation" should be "Orientation" Its already in the toolbar heading.
> "Show the places button in the sidebar" should simply be "Show the 'Places' button". This is already in the sidebar heading.
> "Activate Zoom sliders" should be "Show zoom slider."

ok

> "Show zoom sliders icons" should be "Show Icons" and should be indented under "Show zoom slider" This should become insensitive if "Show zoom slider" is not checked.

playing with sensitive insensitive button is just too much heavy changes on the code. The options in the tweak menu are just an xml files loaded it's simple and light. I want to keep it that way.

> "View Switcher Wider (blah/blah/blah)"

A combobox option is the simplest choice from a ton of checkbox with sensibility checking.

I disagree. The name "tweaks" doesn't mean anything. Tweak what? performance? File Sharing? Interface is the proper name. The settings dialog as it is is anything but simple and light. It's confusing and inconsistent with typical GNOME UI. Organization and naming is not sane. There NEEDS to be sensitive and insensistive widgets. There should not be this text "you can only do this with this" Its not the users job to know that. It's our job.
