Alan, my heart pangs for the 1.4 days (without that $@#^% Nautilus). I still use the GMC (4.55) to get the UI. Like so many politicians these days, Gnome has taken it's core supporters by the short-hairs.
Gnome used to have a beautiful configuration manager that handled everything all in one set of panels. I guess you can do much of the same in gconf-editor but it isn't very easy.
Before I turn this into a "me too" diatribe, I approve of about 60% of the changes Gnome has made since 1.4.2 down from 80% since the release of Natutilus with it's spatial look and feel, leaving me feeling not so special.
Ever since it first appeared Nautilus has been the problem with Gnome.
