Mark, I'd really like to see this reverted and then reapplied for Breezy right
after release*. Time is tight and this is the subject of much debate. I fully
support the idea of Ubuntu doing what it thinks is best, even if it differs from
upstream, but a few things rub me a bit. Opening the Computer window and then
Filesystem results in two windows. It doesn't behave correctly for browse mode
either, but it's not been that big of a deal since the people using the Computer
window and the people using Browse mode probably have little overlap, but with a
default change it becomes an issue. Also, the need to use a menu or keyboard
shortcut to open a parent window means that many new users will take the long
way around in reversing inadvertant clicks and such. I see and support these
users every day, using a dropdown menu to find or knowing what a "parent"
requires special training for these folks. If it is decided that something must
be done, that Ubuntu needs to affect this change in operation, please consider
changing to the orthodox browse mode.

Submitted with much respect and sincerity,
