I can accept this time spend, too. But I don't talk for me, but for those who
can't/don't know how to do it. Maybe the (partial) solution could be simply to
add an option in Nautilus preferences dialog box, which could be easier than to
change gconf keys.

Not always, IMO.

Navigating across the filesystem is a more basic thing than do MP3/DVDs/3D, IMO.
Not all people wants/needs MP3, but anyone (probably) wants to navigate across
their folders/files.

Yes, sadly, you could be right, but I think this matters are that makes free
software so wonderful, besides I remains an Ubuntu user or not.

Peace.
