Package: nautilus
Version: 2.6.3b-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

the spatial mode used by nautilus is not documented.  In particular nautilus
does not instruct me how to turn spatial mode off.  

I really really really do NOT want spatial mode on.  I understand that
upstream is very enamoured of it.  I am not.  Yes I have tried it.  Yes I
know I can just hold "shift" down to keep the same window.  I should not
have to, if I do not want to.  

There should be Choice.  The nautilus preferences should have a button for
switching off spatial mode.

At the very least, you should put a comment in README.Debian letting us know
how to do it.

Thank you,

Drew
