I don't know what to call it, but it's the same line which has the 
Minimize, Maximize, Close icons on it....right at the very top.

Are you sure that this is is what it will do? I thought it would simply 
remove nautilus and then replace it - but you may know better.

LOL!

This is surely preposterous - but must have an explanation! :-) .

I have (as I already said) did the above backwards, forwards, sideways 
and I always get the same result: I get the same nautilus screen each 
time - with of without the "browser" name - and the F9 and F3 keys 
always work. I get the same result using ALT-F2 or using the terminal. 
This in both Lucid and Meerkat.

Fresh, unadulterated, installations from CDs of 10.04.1 and 10.10 with 
ugrades (if any) done every day via the 'net on Lucid, and Meerkat 
ugraded today before I did the "Nautilus Naughty Fandango".
