I have used it it's just that I do not believe in the concept of having icons on the desktop(background/root) so I have never had it draw the desktop. Having icons there is just plain stupid then I have to move or minimize the app I'm working in just to start another, why would I want to do that ? Then even if you configure it to be in the fastest possible configuration I think it is slow my win200 in wmware displays my home directory faster over smb than nautilus dose using nfs. Then it can't even scroll the display without flickering. It just feels slow. I always use list view and even using 25% on the icon size I get very large amount of unused space in between lines. And I would not mind having a list view that works like the one in windows. Nautilus list view is like the detail view in windows. And no I'm not a windows user I even use linux at work I hardly ever use windows but the file browser is fast and dose exactly what you want (in classic mode that is). I still use mc in a terminal if I want to do things that is not simple to do from the command line but I was hoping that nautilus would improve to the point that I could dump mc. > You're lucky that this list seems to have a lot of helpful people on it - > on other lists I'm on, you'd be a pile of ash after the ton of flaming you'd > get ;-) No problem I expected it. I do not normally write like that but this was just to much, gnome is getting worse no better. They take away a lot of good options and don't put in any replacement. I think it's time for a --disable-moron-mode on most of the gnome stuff so people can get back some of the configuration that was possible before.
