Close buttons on toolbars are pretty evil. Suddenly, a 'close' concept that previously was reserved for windows and tabs, gets ported to toolbars.

I think there is. Currently the View menu has a checkbox item for visibility of the Location bar. This could be split up between a (mutually exclusive?) Address bar and a Path bar. Yes, this would add another item to the already large menu- but do we need "Reset View to Defaults", for instance? Who ever uses it? regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
