The changes in GNOME and Nautilus are the main reasons why I'm sticking with Shrike. I think it's the newer GNOME and Nautilus releases, but the ones that come with Fedora just completely alienated me. While we're on this subject, is there a way on the newer Nautilus to keep everything in one window like the older Shrike versions and not open a new window for each folder?

You know, I don't know where this "open new window everytime" mentality came from, but like you I find it highly annoying. Evo on FC5 seems to have done away with the 3-pane concept in favor of you just having two panes, with the left pane doubling as a preview pane....stupid. It's much more efficient to have three Evo panes, the folders to the left, a listing of folder contents to the right-top, and a view of the email at the right-bottom. I don't want to open a new window everytime I view an email. It's possible I'm missing something, even tho I've been thru the menus with a fine tooth comb. But I just haven't been able to find the rosetta stone to allow adding a third pane to the Evo window (and until this year I havent' needed to). I wish I could advise you on Nautilus, but I went the way of konqueror as a graphical file-management a loooong time ago. It's much more adaptable, configurable, and doesn't seem to assume you're an idiot like alot of gnome apps do.
Evo is about the only gnome app that I use. If the third pane has been abolished in favor of new windows, I'm afraid I'll be using one less gnome app.
