What I say is of little importance but it looks pretty nice to me.
Soem comments;

* One thing that is odd to me is that <username> is the top level
of the home tree - it seems superflous. 
*Also we need a better icon for the root tree
* ideally the network tab would have more than
just smb: in it, and would have network:// as it's top level.
* All vfs urls should have a place somewhere in the heirarchy.

The biggest problem i can see with the tab-on-the-side design is that it
is cunfusing to have both that and the sidebar dropdown list. With that
said I prefer the sidetabs to having multiple roots in the same sidebar,
so I hope we can work it out.

Great work Jurg - this is making nautilus start to look like a file
manager again :)
