i fact i did nothing ... as i read you mail first i something 
completeley different - (like: "how often do you
use the old nautilus") therefore give you a wrong answer for your 
question - when i need the "old" nautilus
i simply start the file-browser. but that's interessting - i will take a 
look at gconf now. maybe i find
something for the FAQ.

it again in
public readable english ;-)
