Have you tried konqueror? It starts without the left frame, but you can quickly get it with an F9. I use it mainly becuase it launches faster than nautilus, and it will preview photos and those other kind of things that simpler file managers don't do. Plus it doesn't do that annoying "open everything in a new window" trick that nautilus does nowadays.
