I think it be even better to make it possible to change the default
depending on the folder. For example, I have a few folders on my desktop
that I like to open in spatial mode (Music, Pictures etc...). But when I
mount my FAT32 Windows partition (in Computer), I like to access it in
browser mode (right-click -> browse). So I'd like Nautilus to remember
the fact that I access it in browser mode most of the time. Or, maybe,
simply make "browse" the default for any element opened from within
"Computer".

Just my 2 cents...
