I think ROX's 'Directories spring open'-feature is confusing for a 
navigational file manager. Personally, I'd be fine with either b) or c).

I agree with Botsie that it's important to be consistent here. If we 
choose b) then every folder DnD operation will open a new window, no 
matter if its performed on the location bar, the main view, the 
shortcuts sidebar or the treeview sidebar.
