Upgrading to 13.04 from Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10

[Ari Torhamo]

After many delays I upgraded to Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 (instead of fresh 
installation), and everything went well. I did the purge, although the 
installation process apparently would have taken care of it anyway. When 
using the upgraded file manager ('Files'), I noticed that F3 doesn't 
give you the split window view anymore. I thought that the shortcut key 
must have changed, and looked for the new one. After some searching and 
googling I found out to my amazement that the whole feature was removed 
(among other features) – I can't understand why. At this stage I 
remembered Dominik's suggestion to use the Solus OS fork of Nautilus, 
and that brought back the split view and other missing functionality.

Thanks for help everyone!
