i always thought that was gnome, not mandrake.  but then i don't use gnome, 
so.......

i wonder if you install with another file manager and uncheck nautilus what 
happens?

to answer though, i think naut is the assumed "newbie friendly" manager in 
gnome, and mandrake does try to be newbie friendly.  i mean hey, they could 
be gentoo and boot you to commandline with no gui installed and expect you 
to do everything the hardway.  :-D
