I went to the gconf editor as a last resort.
I went through Nautilus preferences a half dozen times. I played with
every setting I could find but no joy. The only reference to the
sidebar in the Preferences window is a checkbox under Tree View Defaults
at the bottom of the Views tab. Checking and unchecking it made no
difference.
The only setting change I could find that made the sidebar appear again
was in the gconf editor. I think you need to read what it says there as
the setting change I made is explained as making Nautilus 2.6 behave
like previous versions of Nautilus. As Nautilus 2.6 didn't behave for
me the same way the previous version did then I believe I made the
correct setting change.
If there is a setting in Nautilus preferences that is clearly marked as
changing whether or not the sidebar appears then you need to point it
out to me. I don't believe any such option exists in Preferences and
I've just gone through it another couple of times.
