And I have NOTHING to click on. There is NO 'Side Pane' under view.
It is GONE. It was there when I first installed, but something caused
it to go away.
On the Gnome list, it was recommended that I create a new user and see
if that user has the same problem.
GOOD Recommendation to create a new user to trouble shoot this!
So did this. And logged on as the new user and clicked on 'Computer' on
the desktop. There was the side pane!
Then I went into preferences and did my standard changes, switching to
selecting 'list view', 'Open each folder in its own Window', and
'Include Delete command that bypasses Trash'. I closed Nautilus and
clicked on 'Computer' again and the side pane was GONE! Oh boy.
So I went into preferences and deselected 'Open each folder in its own
Window', closed and opened Nautilus and the side pane was back.
I think I have found a bug????
So I went to a system that is running F12, and I see the option in the
same place is called: 'always open in browser windows', and I have this
selected. I went to my ONE F13 system, and it behaves the same as F14.
So I guess this is NOT a bug, but a change between F12 and F13, carried
over to F14...
I still want to have Nautilus on the Applications panel as well as on
the panel itself.
