One of my initial niggles is the way that the file browser app (nautilus) always opens new windows, i.e. when you click on a folder and then click on a sub folder, one ends up with two seperate windows. Very annoying.</p> <p>Anyway, there is a way to stop this by telling nautilus to work in &#8216;browser&#8217; mode which is much more like the windows explorer style.</p> <p><a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2004-May/msg00087.html">Instructions on how to change this setting are here.</a> Note, one gets to &#8216;gconf&#8217; by typing gconf-editor from a console window, or by navigating to Applications | System Tools | Configuration Editor (at least on my default gnome setup).</p> Tue, 28 Jun 2005 14:22:02 +0100 urn:uuid:987a0236ce0da042a6d79ca05c7eb56e paul http://blog.pauldalton.co.uk/articles/2005/06/28/stop-gnome-opening-new-windows linux
