    We like it :-D

While you are at it, try the "use home directory as desktop" - it is
scary at first when all that crap on your homedir pops up on the desktop
and you remember you always decided to clean it up someday.. (I know
what I am talking about here .. :-)

But it is easy to clean up with Nautilus - and seems like a lot of
diehard shell people, while first thinking it is total crack, once tried
it, cleaned the huge mess once and never switched back.. Makes your
homedir clean for shell use too btw.

    Right click on the folder and select "Open in New Window" option.

Or, as a shell person, Ctrl-shift-O does the same and is faster if you
like shortcuts.
