	I can't recall exactly how, but I think if you go into gconf_edit you
can restore the other view. I know it is possible.

	I think the reason you see the return of spatial viewing is because
Nautilus was (and I think still is) being worked on by veterans of Mac
OS Finder development. Considering that the rest of GNOME is taking on
an increasingly Macish look, I can't say I'm surprised to see Nautilus
acting like Mac OS Classic's finder (Mac OS X does not have a spatial
Finder).

	Of course, I think they should ask you the first time you use it what
mode you want.
