I have asked these over on the Fedora list and have not gotten them answered, so I come to the 'source'.

In Nautilus, how do I select Tree view.  Much prefer it to places.

I found Tree for FOLDERS ONLY in preferences>view.  But no way to get tree working on the left panel.  This makes dragging and dropping a real drag. 

when I run sudo gedit, I cannot get to preferences (for root) to turn off word wrap.  The pulldown on the top bar does not work.  How do I change preferences for root, as I like to use gedit to edit config files.

I was shown to run:


gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"

as user.  Then things got better and preferences (and other things) were available even to gedit shelled as root.

Talk about cryptic magical incantations!
