Gnome 2.6’s recent switch from navigational to spatial mode within Nautilus was highly controversial. As probably most of you know, “navigational” means browsing through folders in the same window, just like it works in Windows 2000/XP or in Konqueror. “Spatial”, on the other hand, is a very different concept of managing your files. Not only does each folder open in its own window, but the windows also memorize their exact position and size on the desktop.
