Re: nautilus tree side bar

[Damien Covey <djcovey softhome net>]

What you are describing is exactly what a lot of people have been 
requesting for a long while (I'm one of them).  I'd like to suggest the 
following structure.

>home-dir
>external drives (ie floppy, flash, and the cool new burn:// uri)
>root-dir
>network (smb, nfs etc)
>printers (cups, lp, smb etc)


I do not see the need for the preferences root though.  Also the latest 
Nautilus sidebar has changed somewhat, I'm not sure to what extent but 
maybe any work you intend to doing might be better done against 2.1.x ? 
I'd very much like to be able to help with any testing of this as I 
can, I'm not much of a coder so I'll help where I can.
