Actually, no, I have 10.10, which is GNOME 2.32, including Nautilus 2.32.

Okay, I did some poking around and here's what I find:

According to Nautlius Help (which is for version 2.30.1), there is an
option in Nautilus Preferences for defaulting to the browser mode.
However, Nautilus 2.32 does not appear to have this option built in
any more.  From what I can tell, it can only be activated by either
the --no-desktop or --browser command line options - I'm guessing the
latter.  This works.

In all the menu items for "File Manager," the command is "nautilus,"
which then starts up in spatial mode.  However, in the System
Tools->File Browser item, the command is "nautilus --no-desktop
--browser %U" and *that* starts up nautilus in browser mode where the
side pane and a few other interesting options are enabled and present.
 It behaves rather differently from spatial mode, most particularly in
that the default when you double-click on a folder is to open the
folder in the same window, even if the "Open Folder In New Window"
option is checked in the Preferences.  There is an option to open in a
new folder and one to browse in a new folder if you right-click the
icon/list item instead of just double-clicking it.

How things do change.

So, if I type <alt><f2> and type in nautilus, I get the file manager
in spatial mode.  Same as always.

HTH.
