Semi-Spatial Nautilus
For some reason (I’ve not looked into it, so someone please tell me) Ubuntu decided to break the spatial nautilus in Hoary (5.04). Now when you open folder, it opens in a new window (as before), but is closes the previous one.
Not good.
Fortunately, there’s a (relatively) easy way of fixing this:
Run
gconf-editor (Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor for the mouse-bound)Navigate to the key
/apps/nautilus/preferencesTick the checkbox for
no_ubuntu_spatialSit back and relax, knowing all is now well in the world once more
