[GLLUG] Debian/gnome/ppc questions

I just installed Debian Etch on my iBook G3, and I have a few questions:

1. I won't bother you about enabling sound/suspend/networking, since
networking worked out of the box and I can google to enable sound and
suspend.

2. I will, however, bother you guys about nautilus' asinine default
behaviour in Etch. It really bothers me that I don't have a navigation
toolbar or a folder sidebar, and that I don't have a persistent
location bar. (http://ln-s.net/1Via) This is as opposed to Ubuntu
Gutsy's behaviour where I have everything I'm used to.
(http://ln-s.net/1Vic) Also, what annoys me most about etch's nautilus
is that every folder launches in a new window! I do not want twelve
nautilus windows clogging up mt screen! How do I modify this? I know
theres some config file to edit, but I don't know where or what parts
of it.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
