i don't like nautilus. you can just uninstall it and use the previous default, gmc instead. i find it much less patronising, and it does everything just as well. oh except that you sadly can't resize the desktop icons to 400pixels wide. how will you live without that useful feature??
i can't really remember how i removed nautilus and made gmc appear instead, i think i just reased the rpms and gmc appeared next boot. i think ther were a few error messages tho first time...
