Nautilus and Places menu

[John Levin]

Hi,

I've done a cursory search, but can't find anything about this, which 
suprises me greatly.

When one opens a file from the Places menu, the window is very 
different from the default Nautilus view. For example the menubar is 
quite different:
Nautilus: File Edit View Go Bookmarks Help
Places Browser: File Edit View places Help

and the File and View menus are different, with different options.

Yet this is the same application.

Is this deliberate? (If so, why?) Is it possible to configure the 
Places Browser to use the default Nautilus window?

Running Hoary preview 7, fully up to date.

TIA
