Instead of clicking on a directory in the first window (which Opens that directory in an new window) try using the Browse Folder option instead. Or open the first directory by right clicking and sekecting Browse Folder to begin with.

Same effect as double-clicking. Fortunately, the open-in-browser preference does what I want.

Well, I dislike gnome anyway - at work, we've got a lot of folks on kde. At home, I use IceWM. But what is this "open a directory"? Is that like rxvt, click into the xterm, ls ...dir/subdir/subsubdir?
