This is imho a very bad idea. Hiding directories and making them more
magic does not help people, it just confuses them as to where their
files are and how to easily find them from any app. Also, it exposes
implementation details to the user since going up from a user-visible
directory takes you to the ~/.gnome2/nautilus directory that you should
never need to see.
