We should optimise for the common case. 90% of the time when I'm 
double-clicking on a folder inside nautilus, I want to open that window 
and close the current one. Is that typical for everyone? If so, should 
we not make it so that double-clicking opens the new folder (in spatial 
mode, remembering where it was on the desktop last time etc) and closes 
the existing folder, and holding shift or using the middle button leaves 
the current window open while opening the new one?

Straw poll: when you navigate through folder hierarchies in spatial 
mode, do you usually want to leave the old folder open, or have it 
closed when you move to the next folder?
