Very nice! I second it. The delay would have to be configurable, but this
doesn't sound too hard to implement...

Am I right?

While on the subject, any chance of

** Keyboard navgation in the left-hand pane

** Mini-icon view (like brief but with real icons and more than one
coloumn

** Remember settings on close (internal sizes, view etc)

** Option to use a smaller toolbar

** Tab completion in Location bar

I'm checking gnome out of CVS now (and for the last several hours), so I
may be able to get some of this going myself if it helps. (It'll take me a
while to get used to the code first....)
