Ok, I can see that. I just placed it their as another potential
indicator. Perhaps just making it look like a proper button would be
sufficient?

I think the real issue is that even with the arrow it just looks as if
it is a label displaying the name of the current directory. I know when
I started using spatial nautilus, it wasn't readily apparent that
clicking on it would allow me to traverse the parent directories.
