I always change to browser mode, too. Only takes a second.
A second times however many times you have to do it, particularly if you use a live CD, or if your wife is using it and doesn't know why such a stupid default exists.
By the time you get done changing all the stupid stuff, it's a lot more than a second.
It's already in the repos for Arch. I may have to give it a try.
Have they included "copy to" "move to" and "open as root" in the context menu by default yet? Such an asinine thing to overlook...
Just test drove the Fedora 12 Community Edition and found these deficiencies PLUS the main complaint here of no side panel by default.
Many of the spinoff distros from Ubuntu, to include Mint, have corrected this. Makes you wonder who is at the switch here. Reminds me of the old joke that says a bunch of car designers were sitting around one day smoking pot and one of them stated:
"You know...(sharp inhale - cough)...what we need is a car with more glass and plastic parts..."
Six months later the Pacer rolled off the assembly lines. http://tinyurl.com/pngugq
That went well.

ROFL! Bullseye, Mr. Ken!
Hey! We had a Pisser, er, Pacer.
In defense of AMC, the thing had actually been designed to use a Wankel engine under development by GM. When GM dropped the rotor motor, the Pacer had to be re-engineered and re-designed to take conventional power.
The original concept would have been pretty cool.

Propose it to Gnome and *back it up*. Gnome has accepted changes that they did not like several times in the past because someone showed them (statistics et al) that most distros shipped said changes by default and that users wanted them.
If you can back up that e.g. most major distros add the "copy to" and "move to" functionality, there's a much better chance that Gnome will change it.

I have played around with the new GNOME shell in Sabayon. We'll see if it really is an improvement - I still haven't figured out what is improved except possibly the look.
