Re: [Usability] File menu applet

Thanks,
however I know there's even a way even to start Nautilus in the
old-style using a command line parameter. The problem is not new
nautilus vs. old nautilus (I'm really using gnome 2.4 so I can't use
spatial nautilus at all) but to find a more usable way (than the
term-commands and than nautilus) to quickly browse filesystem... and
this "way" should be accessible from menu or panel (the only desktop
elements that can be always on top and directly accessible without
iconifying all the other windows).
I really can't find anything more usefull than a "file menu" applet from
the gnome-panel or gnome-menu (like KDE does).
