Hi Nathan,

"Spatial windows" can be disabled easily.  On a Gnome window and under
the menu, select "Edit", "Preferences" and under the "Behaviour" tab,
make sure that "Always open browser in windows" is checked.  Click OK. 

Alternatively, U could type "nautilus --no-desktop --browser", or make a
desktop link to that command.  

U might also try selecting, "View" followed by "Side Pane", to make it
appear more like Windows Explorer.
