Ok, sure.

"what do you call "computer section", is that in the sidepane? the sidepane is 
supposed to list standard directories and drives, not symlinks..."

Yes, I meant the sidepane. Since nautilus and several other programs
give special significance to the Documents, Pictures, Downloads etc.
directories, I decided to link ~/Documents etc. to my other harddrive
(which is bigger).


Off-topic: A disadvantage I've noted with symlinks though is that they may 
behave differently with some programs. The most notable one so far is that the 
commands "mv" and "cp" doesn't seem to understand symlinks, while commands such 
as "cd" does. With my setup, this gives unexpected results:
cd ~/Documents && touch foo && mv foo ..
It moves "foo" to /media/500GB instead of to ~. Oh well, I'll cope :)
