Last week, I installed CentOS 6 yet again. I took the default desktop: gnome. Whenever I open a directory, I get a new window. That gets rather annoying, especially when I have to drill down several levels. Is there around that behaviour? If it's in edit->preferences, I didn't find it. Eventually I expect to change desktops. Until then, any ideas?

Look under edit/preferences/behavior. Check the checkbox for "open in browser windows"

Thanks. I'd thought it was telling me it would open directories in Firefox. Not that I could think of any reason it should think I wanted to do that.

Yeah, I find it confusing, too, it's just that I've learned by experiment that that's what it does.
