Changing the behavior of Nautilus

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to change the way Nautilus behaves when
I click on folders.  I personally don't like the way I get a new window
every time I click on a folder icon.  I find myself spending a lot of my
time with one of my fingers on the ctrl key, chasing the window round
the desktop.  

I know I can change the gconf key

/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser

but this also seems to change the type of window I get, I don't see how
I can remove the toolbar from view. The key

/apps/nautilus/preferences/start_with_toolbar 

doesn't seem to do it then in browse mode, and the windows that I do get
are always very large and in the top left. I prefer the smaller ones I
get when not in browse mode.  I also miss the little pop up menu in the
bottom left that allows me to see up the tree I have descended in that
window.

I know these are small things, but they're small things that keep me on
the command line.

Thanks,

Dan.
