following symbolic links and access to '..'



When opening a directory through a symbolic link, nautilus does not allow
to go back to the mother directory (is the directory ".."). Instead, when you
click on the "up" arrow, you go back to the directory where the symbolic link
has been created. In other words, if you open a directory through a symbolic link
you are stuck in the subpart of the directory tree that is pointed by the link.
It is a major pain in the neck. Is there a way to access the .. directory?

many thanks
