I would recommend :

Left click - open in same window
Middle click - open in new window

Mac OS/X does it this way and its more consistent with the file selector
that way too. Its also good for newbies coming over from Windows.

As it wont be in 2.8 or even in Nautilus CVS as such I will create and
maintain a new app called Nautilus Plus (its just Nautilus plus my
patches on top - not a fork!) so everyone that wants a really cool state
of the art file manager gets one (as opposed to the "politically
correct" Nautilus you currently get).

jamie.
