GOOD Recommendation to trouble shoot this!

So did this. And logged on as the new user and clicked on 'Computer' on 
the desktop. There was the side pane!

Then I went into preferences and did my standard changes, switching to 
selecting 'list view', 'Open each folder in its own Window', and 
'Include Delete command that bypasses Trash'. I closed Nautilus and 
clicked on 'Computer' again and the side pane was GONE! Oh boy.

So I went into preferences and deselected 'Open each folder in its own 
Window', closed and opened Nautilus and the side pane was back.

I think I have found a bug????

So I went to a system that is running F12, and I see the option in the 
same place is called: 'always open in browser windows', and I have this 
selected. I went to my ONE F13 system, and it behaves the same as F14. 
So I guess this is NOT a bug, but a change between F12 and F13, carried 
over to F14...
