Also now that we have working key navigation it is very nice to use the
single window mode: Alt-arrows work great:

        * Alt-down opens (goes down into) a folder
        * Alt-up backs up one level
        * Alt-left goes back in history
        * Alt-right goes forward in history.

This is also consistent with what Mozilla does, so it is all good. 

I think this, along with the realization that I have too much stuff to
browse it with separate window for each folder, led me to use single
window mode :)
