The current stuff only serves to break the spatial feature.  If you 
implemented it wouldn't be spatial anymore it's more of a runaround to 
get spatial to act more like a browser.  Maybe it would be better to just
make the browser portion better.  

Spatial does require you manage your data differently.  For instance,
as an old unix hat I don't have directories with any depth greater
than 4.  Mostly because I don't like typing more than that.  I don't
see how anybody would want to type long paths..  

Before spatial I hardly used nautilus because I tended to use nautilus
to do file operations and browser mode sucked for that.  I use it a lot
more now and it's great!  Try it for awhile.

Anyways, retrofitting spatial into something it's not isn't the right 
solution.
